Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 27/9/2021 Spencer Street Bridge
Victorian Heritage Database place details - 27/9/2021 Spencer Street Bridge Location: Between Spencer Street & Clarendon Street,, MELBOURNE VIC 3000 - Property No B6799 Heritage Inventory (HI) Number: Listing Authority: HI Extent of Registration: Statement of Significance: The Spencer Street Bridge built by the Victorian Railways Construction Branch in 1929-30 is significant as a major new crossing of the Yarra River reflecting engineering and design standards intended to enhance the Yarra River as an aesthetic and recreational adjunct to the City of Melbourne. The Spencer Street Bridge is significant for aesthetic/architectural, historic, and technical reasons at a State level. Spencer Street Bridge was constructed after a long period of stagnation in road and bridge development in Victoria in a climate of controversy and rivalry between public authorities, local councils and politicians. The Spencer Street Bridge is of historical significance as the first major new crossing (as opposed to replacement of older bridges on existing crossings such as the 1924 Church Street Bridge) to be created over the lower Yarra in Melbourne after a considerable lull in such projects since the Morell Bridge of 1899-1900. Its construction demonstrates the political difficulties of the time and the growing importance of motor vehicle traffic to Melbourne's commerce. The Spencer Street Bridge was the first permanent structure over the Yarra built below "the falls" (a natural rock barrier that formed the upstream limit of practical river navigation) and as such is historically important because it was the first bridge to effectively cut the city off from direct contact with its port.

Queens Bridge Street (originally called Moray Street North, along with City Road, provided the main access into South and Port Melbourne from the city when the only bridges available for foot and wheel traffic were the Princes the Falls bridges. The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill.

ACSEV Site Visit Association of Consulting Structural Engineers, Vic
ACSEV Site Visit Association of Consulting Structural Engineers, Vic. th Wednesday 15 February 2017 Venue : Melbourne River Cruises South Bank Promenade – Berth 5. See directions attached. Yarra River Bridges – Engineering History and Heritage Speaker: Ken McInnes Adjunct Teaching Fellow, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology, Swinburne University of Technology [email protected] OVERVIEW: The Yarra River is the focal point of Melbourne. An ancient basalt lava flow flowed down parts of the ancient Yarra valley. The river carved a new channel in the softer rock to the south, and fresh water flowed over the lava barrier at “The Falls” near today’s Queens Street Bridge, into a deep saltwater pool. It then flowed through the flood plains to the south at Albert Park, or to the West Melbourne Lagoon and swamps, where it joined the Saltwater (now Maribyrnong) River. This place was the rich hunting grounds of the Wurundjeri people, and from 1803, with good water, timber and grazing, it was a desirable place for a European settlement - “the place for a city”. From its beginnings to a large metropolis, engineers have applied “the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man”. This tour will explore some of our engineering history and heritage along the Yarra River. (For more information refer to the attached.)
