Parramatta River railway bridge, Meadowbank

The Meadowbank Railway Bridge is a heritage-listed former railway bridge and now cycleway which carried the Main Northern line across the Parramatta River between the suburbs of Meadowbank and Rhodes in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

[2] After twenty years of disuse, it was converted to a pedestrian bridge and cycleway in the lead-up to the 2000 Summer Olympics.

As such it is of exceptional heritage significance as evidence of a short lived but highly popular approach to bridge design in which the spanning girders were reinforced by a lattice of bars, adjusted to suit changing structural forces.

A unity in design, lively detail, skilful use of materials and fine workmanship is displayed by the bridge and its abutments.
