Hawthorn Bridge, over Yarra River, and ornamental tramwire supports - Physical Description 1
The Hawthorn Bridge is triple-span box-girder bridge over the Yarra River, connecting Richmond and Hawthorn. The four-lane road deck rests on four deck-type lattice trusses at 4.3m centres. The trusses are simply supported, with spans of 21.3m, 45.7m and 21.3m. There are two main
supports, constructed of quarry faced bluestone, each with four piers connected by three arches. The deck is not original, and has simple steel balustrading. The ornamental tram-wire supports on the bridge are simple iron structures with subtly curved top members and typically Edwardian curvilinear decoration.
