The old Salem Bridge, now only a shadow of its original self, spanned the Bremer River in the River Murray region of South Australia, connecting the small town of Salem to surrounding areas.

Built in the late 19th century, the bridge  was cConstructed primarily of local stone and timber, featuring a simple yet sturdy design typical of rural bridges from that era. Its tall structure allowed for the seasonal flow variations of the Bremer River while providing a stable crossing for vehicles and pedestrians, facilitating transportation and trade in the agriculturally rich area.

Over the years, floods, the increasing demands of modern traffic and the need to remove a kink in the road, meant that is was no longer viable and it has now been replaced by a steel and concrete bridge.

Today, the original pillars can still be seen and it has become a point of interest for tourists exploring the historic region.
