Bunbury Bridge

The bridge crossed the Swan River near Claise Brook and was built for passenger and freight traffic to Bunbury on the South Western Railway.

[2] Construction was delayed due to troubles with sinking the jarrah piles into the soft riverbed: they were intended to be sunk 13 metres (42 ft) below the water level, but reached this depth under their own weight as soon as they were put in position.

[7][8][9] After 63 years of use, the temporary structure was closed when a new concrete railway bridge opened in 1995.

The 1995 concrete dual-track Goongoongup Bridge was built as part of the electrification of Perth's suburban railways.

Windan Bridge, which opened in April 2000, is immediately adjacent and carries road traffic from the Graham Farmer Freeway.
