Meadowbank, John Whitton Bridge

The John Whitton Bridge is a railway bridge that crosses the Parramatta River between the northern suburb of Meadowbank and inner west suburb of Rhodes. The original 1886 truss bridge which was originally known as Meadowbank Bridge, sits on the eastern side of the 1980 welded steel box girder bridge on concrete piers, also known as the Parramatta River Underbridge. The bridge is named after John Whitton, the Engineer-in-Charge for the New South Wales Railways from 1867. The view is from Charity Point in Meadowbank.

John Whitton Bridge

The John Whitton Bridge is a railway bridge that crosses the Parramatta River between the suburbs of Meadowbank and Rhodes. The 1980 welded steel box girder bridge on concrete piers, also known as the Parramatta River Underbridge sits on the western side of the 1886 truss bridge, that was then known as the Meadowbank Bridge. The bridge is named after John Whitton, who was appointed Engineer-in-Charge for the New South Wales Railways from 1867 and was responsible for the completion of 2811 miles of railway around New South Wales and Victoria over 32 years. A Rivercat Class ferry is seen here travelling east along the Parramatta River.
