Re: MORE TRAMWAY TRIVIA



Discounting those involving free (or not-so-free) ways, I can count
five along the St Kilda light rail line and two (at least) along the
Port Melbourne line.  There is Flinders St (over King St) and St Kilda
Road over Alexandra Av/City Road closer to the city.. 

 What about at St Kilda Junction, where trams heading along Queens
Road towards Dandenong Road pass underneath the southbound carriageway
of St Kilda Rd (and Punt Road), and then pass underneath Upton Road.

Also, there is an access road to the rowing clubs which passes
underneath Hawthorn Bridge.  Don't know its name.

Any others in Melbourne?
