Statement of Significance

The rail overbridge at Bloomfield Road, Ascot Vale, was built in part by R. Dixon under contract to the Victorian Railways Department in 1870-71 and completed following duplication of the line. It is historically important (Criterion A) to the extent that it demonstrates a part of the Government's improvement works undertaken following acquisition of the Melbourne and Essendon Railway Co's assets and is representative of other similar works undertaken by the Government following the acquisition of railways that had been privately built, including the bridge re-construction works on the Brighton Beach and Geelong lines. The importance of this bridge is enhanced by its intact state which includes early metal girders.
