However, this last section was not built well and was separated from the original pier by an earthquake in 1933.

The original pier, on the south side of the bay, was built in 1894.

The bridge still features the original 16th-century piers, coats of arms and passing places.

The original pier was built in 1830, one of the earliest in the country.

The current span was built to replace it on the original piers.

Over several years the original pier deteriorated and was eventually removed.

In 1971, the original piers were strengthened and the bridge widened to take a third track.

They were replaced with stone viaducts in 1902 and 1904 respectively, although the original piers still stand.

The original pier, built in 1965, was located near the current position of Royal Peninsula.

The original pier was destroyed by a fire in 1994.
