Lithgow Underbridge, Heritage railway bridge in Lithgow, Australia

The Lithgow Underbridge features three stone arches spanning 6.1 meters between piers, carrying the Main Western railway line over James Street.

Engineer John Whitton designed this sandstone bridge in 1869, making it the second oldest railway arch bridge in New South Wales built for double tracks.

The bridge represents a period of railway expansion that transformed the Hartley Valley region from pastoral lands into an industrial transportation corridor.

The Transport Asset Holding Entity maintains this structure, which continues to support regular rail traffic despite showing signs of stone erosion and mortar deterioration.

The bridge stands as one of few remaining examples of early colonial stone arch construction techniques in the New South Wales railway network.
