Location: Church St and Chapel St, Richmond
Opened: 1923
Linking Church Street in Richmond with Chapel Street in South Yarra, the reinforced concrete arch Church Street Bridge was opened in 1923, replacing an iron girder bridge which was purchased from the British at the end of the Crimean War. The old bridge was opened in 1857.
The bridge crosses the Yarra as well as the Monash Freeway which was built next to the river in the 1960's.
The bridge is on the Victorian Heritage Register. It also supports the 78 and 79 tram route.
