Old Como Railway Bridge, Como, NSW, Australia - Orphaned Bridges on Waymarking.com

The Old Como railway bridge was completed in 1885 as a part of the original Illawarra railway line infrastructure. It is a very fine example of a single track steel lattice girder bridge of the 1870s and 1880s. Como is the longest single track steel lattice girder bridge in NSW and the only such bridge within 250 kilometres (160 mi) of Sydney.

In 19722 a new railway bridge was built next to the existing bridge and it was opened as a pedestrian bridge in 1985.

It is now a popular walkway for local residents who enjoy being able to access both sides of Port Hacking.
