The Ann St pedestrian bridge over the disused Williamstown Pier railway line was reopened last week.
The historic structure, that is on the Victorian Heritage Register was removed 3 months ago and restored by the Emerald Tourist Railway Board, using their experience of heritage rail bridge restoration gained from running Puffing Billy.
The bridge has been long closed after it fell into dangerous disrepair since this section of the Williamstown line was decommissioned in 1987.
First built in 1883, restorers fixed the central span and rejuvenated the iron lacework.
