Spanning the Yarra River between South Yarra and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Morell Bridge is one of Melbourne’s most distinctive historic bridges. Built in 1899, it was the first reinforced concrete bridge constructed in Victoria. The elegant three-arch design features decorative dragon motifs and classic Victorian lamp posts. Today the bridge is closed to cars and used by walkers and cyclists, making it a pleasant crossing with views along the Yarra and the surrounding parklands.
