This right-hand drive vehicle and passengers are located in Vic West with the camera facing east toward Victoria. The E&N's swing bridge can be seen in the distance to the left of the car.

Moving closer the camera is now positioned on the wooden trestle approach to the swing bridge with the skyline of Victoria in the background.

Moving still closer the swing span is now shown in the open position permitting marine traffic to pass.

From about the same position as the previous photo the camera has now swung around 180 degrees pointing towards Vic West. It's unknown what the purpose of the shanty might be. Perhaps a pedestrian toll gate?

The swing bridge which carried the E&N from Victoria West across the narrows to the Upper Harbour was completed in 1888. Soon after its completion it was realized it was inadequate. The hand operated swing bridge supported trains and pedestrians but not street cars or vehicles. The bridge also had a limited load capacity and required pedestrians to share the same deck as trains, raising safety concerns. Local citizens called for a new bridge to be built that would separate trains from pedestrians, support vehicles, have greater load capacity, and provide easier navigation for marine traffic from the Inner Harbour to the Upper Harbour and Gorge. This led to the construction of the Johnson Street Bridge between 1921 and 1923.

The Johnson Street bridge was comprised of two separate Bascule type spans. One for vehicles and pedestrians and the other for the E&N railway. Bascule bridges are the most common type of movable span because they open quickly and require relatively little energy to operate while providing the possibility for unlimited vertical clearance of marine traffic. In 2017 or 2018 the Johnson Street bridge is about to be replaced by a third bridge without any railway tracks or even the possibility of adding tracks at a later date, so it's doubtful the E&N will ever reach Victoria again.

Construction of the fourth bridge, a rolling bascule bridge, began in 2013 and opened to the public on 31 Mar 2018. Actual cost was $96.08 million. The bridge affords a three-lane roadway, a pedestrian walkway on the south side, and a multi-use pathway on the north side, but no railway tracks or provision to add any.
