Abstract

In view of the large number of level crossings in this country, for the abolition of which there is a growing necessity, it is believed that the following notes will be of interest. In the recently constructed electric suburban railway from Darling to Glen Waverley, Victoria, the location was designed to avoid all level crossings. This necessitated nine bridges: five railway bridges over roads, and four road bridges over railways. Although these structures were all of small span, they were designed with care to achieve both rigid economy and appearance suitable for a district destined to be a residential area. The latter consideration was less important in the case of the road bridges, which cannot be seen from the roadway.
