It is located near the E.J. Whitten Bridge, and almost 400 metres long (hence the quarter mile name). It was built in 1927–29 by the Victorian Railways Construction Branch, being the largest trestle bridge in Australia when completed in June, 1929.〔''Albion Viaduct on the Broadmeadows to Albion Line'' Payne, Bruce Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, May, 2003 p186〕 It employed 200 people during its construction, with one fatality, and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. With a length of , and a height of above the water level,〔 it is the second-highest bridge in Victoria after the West Gate Bridge (58 metres), and is higher than the Sydney Harbour Bridge (52 metres).
