Donnellys Crossing never had a combined bridge. There was no road going south from the railway yard across the bridge. The bridge was a double track yard bridge, decked for the use of railway staff walking through the yard. There were two tracks across it, the main line and the loop, and they joined at the points just to the south of the bridge. These statements saying one side was for road are wrong. Both sides were laid with track and used until the line closed. The only access needed at the south end of the yard was two or three railway houses with only footpaths to them. Donnellys Station Road was extended through there after the line closed and the tracks were removed. No road is visible in any of the many photos of this bridge when the line was open which have appeared in numerous publications over the years. PatrickDunfordNZ ( talk) 04:46, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
