| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Paringa Bridge over the River Murray [Metal Vertical Lift] |
| Registered Name |
Bridge - Paringa |
| Significance |
Opened in January 1927, the Paringa Bridge is a particularly significant engineering relic because of the feature which permitted a section to be raised to allow the passage of river boats. It was designed by the engineers of the South Australian Railways and fabricated by Perry Engineering of Adelaide. Originally it was designed for both road and rail traffic. Subsequently roads were added on either side to facilitate separation of the traffic.
In addition to its significance as one of the earliest bridges to span the Murray, it is also one of the most significant early steel bridges in South Australia. The bridge and associated railway have played an important role in facilitating local communications in the area in times of flooding. |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
