The Bayswater Subway (or Bayswater Bridge) was a road under rail subway in Perth, Western Australia. It was located immediately west of Bayswater railway station, and carried King William Street / Coode Street beneath the Midland line.[1] The subway was demolished in April 2023 as part of Metronet's rebuild of Bayswater station.[2]
In the later decades of its existence the bridge gained notoriety for it being frequently struck by tall vehicles due to its low clearance.[2][3] Because of this it has been called an "infamous icon" of Perth.[4][5][6]
