Kane's Bridge

The bridge was originally built in 1928 with the intention of connecting Kew with the public golf course located on the opposite side of the Yarra River, in Fairfield, replacing a ferry service.

[1] It was named after T J Kane, a councillor at the City of Collingwood.

[1] In the early hours of Saturday 1 December 1934,[3] as a result of the 1934 Victorian floods, the original bridge was washed downstream and damaged beyond repair.

A ferry service replaced the bridge beginning in the days following the collapse.

[4][5] A replacement bridge was constructed in 1935,[6] resembling the design of another bridge further upstream linking Kew to the Yarra Bend Asylum.
