Barrack Street Bridge (1) is situated east of Perth Station (2) and Horseshoe Bridge (3). Pedestrians may also pass between the Perth CBD and Northbridge across Yagan Square (4), and between the CBD and Perth Cultural Centre via Padbury Walk (5), Upper Level Walkway (6) and Gallery Walk (7). King Street (8) is further west.
Barrack Street Bridge is the second crossing of the Eastern Railway line at its location just north of the Barrack Street intersection with Wellington Street at the eastern end of the Perth Railway Station yard in Perth, Western Australia.[a] Despite its name the bridge carries Beaufort Street,[2] although it has been called Beaufort Street Bridge.[3]
The development of the Eastern Railway through Perth created a large yard and railway station area that separated the Perth central business district (CBD) from its adjacent northern streets. The first railway bridge at Barrack Street was timber, and in repair on a regular basis.[4] It was demolished in 1894.[5]
