Victoria Street Bridge, Yarra River & ornamental tram wire supports - Physical Description 1
The Victoria Bridge is a concrete and iron road bridge which links Victoria Street in the City of Yarra in the west with Barkers Road in the City of Boroondara to the east. The bridge structure comprises a series of pairs of circular hollow section columns, cross-braced with iron members, which support diagonally-trussed iron girders. The reinforced concrete roadway is not original,
and carries four lanes of traffic , double tramlines and has a footpath on each side. The balustrading comprises simple vertical iron latticed panels between universal columns. The metal handrail is a curved C-section.
The two 1916 ornamental tram wire supports are simple steel structures with supports on either side of the roadway. The curved brackets are embellished with steel scrollwork.
