Historical Bridge

At Fyansford, 4 kilometres west of Geelong, is the Fyansford Monier Arch Bridge. This bridge is of historical significance as it is the first reinforced concrete bridge built in Victoria.
It was built in 1899 by engineers Monash and Anderson of Melbourne.
Fyansford is one of the earliest places of settlement in the region and the first bridge over the Moorabool River was built in 1854 as a toll bridge.
The Fyansford Monier Arch Bridge was closed to traffic in 1970 but is still in use for pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

This photo of the bridge was taken in 1908
