Church Street Bridge, Yarra River - Physical Description 1
The Church Street Bridge is a three-span bridge of reinforced concrete construction over the Yarra River, connecting Richmond and South Yarra. Three segmental arches span the river, above which are a series of semi-circular arched openings. The two piers between the arches are embellished with foliated cement rendered decoration. The bridge supports a two lanes of traffic, double tramlines and two pedestrian paths; the latter are cantilevered from the bridge structure, and have classically detailed consoles.
At street level, the balustrading comprises a series of rendered panels pieced with vertical openings; these terminate at the Richmond and South Yarra approaches with curved, panelled low walls. Eight pillars are regularly spaced along the length of the bridge, four on each side, and have classically derived ornament, typical of Annear's work during this period. The engaged swagged Ionic columns rest on moulded pedestals, and support modillioned entablatures. Above these are unusual Mannerist finials, square in plan, tapering as they rise and decorated with wreaths on each side. The finials terminate in curved pediments with volutes, above which are smaller conical finials surmounted by orbs. Each pillar supports four Victorian style cast iron and glass lanterns.Church Street Bridge, Yarra River - Integrity
