Stanwell Park Rail Viaduct over Stanwell Creek, Railway viaduct in Stanwell Park, Australia.

The Stanwell Park Rail Viaduct spans across Stanwell Creek with eight arches and reaches a height of 34 meters above the gorge below.

Construction of the viaduct began in 1918 using three million bricks due to steel shortages during World War I and was completed in 1920.

The viaduct represents early 20th-century railway engineering in New South Wales and received recognition through listing on the State Heritage Register in 1999.

The structure underwent reinforcement work in the 1990s, including the replacement of arch span 6 with a steel girder due to ground movement concerns.

The viaduct contains enough bricks to construct 150 houses and remains one of the largest railway structures in Australia.
