Flinders Street Viaduct

About

The Flinders Street Viaduct is a railway bridge in Melbourne, Australia. Made up of six tracks built at different times, it links Flinders Street station to Southern Cross station, forming the main connection between the eastern and western parts of the Victorian rail network. The viaduct takes a curving path, passing behind the former Victorian Railways headquarters at 67 Spencer Street, taking a relatively sharp 90 degree turn east from Spencer Street, swinging southward around the back of the former Melbourne City Markets (now Northbank Place), with the former Fish Market on its south side (now the west end of Batman Park), then north-east to avoid the former turning basin for ships on the Yarra River, before passing over the Banana Alley Vaults, and entering Flinders Street station.
