Watch now: Broadford’s Short Street bridge demolition
Watch how we dismantled Broadford’s Short Street bridge during a 40-hour track possession recently.
March 18, 2026
In Broadford, we’re replacing Short Street bridge with a new higher structure and lowering the tracks to allow sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains.
The old Short Street bridge, which crossed the ARTC and V/Line tracks at Broadford, was demolished using excavators with specialised attachments.
Around 400 tonnes of bridge rubble was removed and recycled.
