The PNSR with threee associated bridges, was the first attempt of railway construction under the newly formed [[Railway_Branch_-_PWD|Public Works Department - Railway Branch]].
The bridge was constructed by the PNSR in accordance with Government Railway Gauge policy at the time [[Rail_gauge#Gauge_Question|(''See separate page ‘Railway Gauge’ '')]]. This policy was reversed in Jan 1874 and the conversion of this section to broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) was completed in 1876
