John Witton Bridge

The John Witton Bridge is a railway bridge that crosses the Parramatta River between the suburbs of Meadowbank and Rhodes. The original 1886 truss bridge, that was then known as the 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. A Rivercat Class ferry is seen here travelling east along the Parramatta River. The bridge is named after John Witton, 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.
