The Denmark River Railway Bridge has aesthetic and historic heritage significance. It played an integral part in Denmark’s economic development by forming part of the rail link from Albany to Denmark and then on to Nornalup. The bridge now forms part of a Shire sponsored heritage trail - the Mokare Trail. The trail is utilised by tourists and the bridge provides an historically interesting highlight. In 2014 a new concrete deck and railing work was undertaken to sustain the life of the Bridge. The Bridge also requires new cross bracing and work on the abutments in the near future.
The Denmark Railway Bridge is located near the mouth of the river.
The single span steel frame bridge, supported by timber piers, carried a single 3'6" gauge railway line across the Denmark River. The southwest end entered the Denmark Station yards. The tracks have since been removed and replaced by a concrete surface. Handrails have been added to provide protection for pedestrian traffic.
