Lachlan River Railway Bridge (NSW)
The Lachlan River railway bridge, also known as the Cowra Rail Bridge over Lachlan River and the Cowra Lattice Railway Bridge, is a heritage-listed former railway bridge which carried the Blayney–Demondrille railway line over the Lachlan River at Cowra, Cowra Shire, New South Wales, Australia.
It was designed by John Whitton. The bridge was built from 1886 to 1887 by contractors Fishburn and Co.
It is a three-span continuous iron lattice bridge. The spans are 48 metres (159 ft) to centres of piers and the lattice work has four triangulations. The piers are pairs of cast iron cylinders (supplied by Stockton Forge Co). The bridge has wrought iron plate web girders at each end of the lattice bridge.
