The 173 metre long Paringa Bridge was completed in 1927 and carries the Sturt Highway across the Murray River in Paringa, South Australia. It also carried the Barmera railway line until 1982. The bridge and railway played an important role in keeping the Riverland connected during extreme floods.

Let’s go for a wander and see what this remarkable engineering feat looks like today.
