It was built for the Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company and is the oldest extant railway bridge over the Yarra River.Completed in 1861, Hawthorn Railway Bridge was designed by Francis Bell. The opening had been delayed due to delays in completion of the bridge with the original iron trusses having been lost at sea.
