Victoria Bridge is a continuous iron through-bridge (the deck is between the girders rather than on top of them). The three main girders, each spanning a clear 56.7 metres (186 ft), were designed and constructed as one 181-metre (594 ft) long continuous structure (no separations over the piers), a novel structural feature for 1867 (Maw and Dredge).
In 1915 the bridge was further strengthened to accommodate the extra weight of electric trams and widened to accommodate two cantilever footpaths. Further widening and reconditioning of the bridge took place in 1933, including the addition of four new welded trusses. [4] The bridge is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. [4]
