Noojee Line Bridge Number 5

Noojee Line Bridge Number 5. This bridge was similar to Bridge 6 but a little longer at around 18 openings. It was essentially straight, whereas Bridge 6 was slightly curved. No trace of this bridge remains.

This map shows the position of the bridges, superimposed on an old Land Survey Map. Note there is a bogus bridge shown just on the Warragul side of Bridge 4, and Bridge 7 is drawn on the map in the wrong place.

Another view of Bridge 5, it appears to be still under construction although close to completion.

Bridge 5 was burnt out by fires subsequent to the closure of the Nayook-Noojee section, possibly during the late 50s. This is all that remained.
