The Murray River road bridge, Murray Bridge is a bridge in the town of Murray Bridge, located 76 km (47 mi) south-east of Adelaide on the Murray River north of Lake Alexandra.[1] The bridge was built as a road bridge in 1879 and converted for mixed road/rail use shortly thereafter. The tiny settlement of Edwards Crossing was renamed Murray Bridge when a new railway bridge was constructed in 1924.[2] Since then, the bridge has been used for road traffic only.
