History

The Anzac Highway crossed over the Adelaide-Wolseley railway line via a flat junction to the south of Keswick railway station. In 1911, the South Australian Railways built a bridge over the line, that was widened in 1927.[2] [3]

A new bridge built by Baulderstone was officially opened by Premier Don Dunstan on 27 October 1967.[4]
