Lockyer Creek Railway Bridge, Railway heritage site in Lockyer Valley Region, Australia.

The Lockyer Creek Railway Bridge spans a dry gully with twin parabolic arch ribs and concrete spandrel columns near Lockyer Creek in Queensland.

The bridge, constructed between 1909 and 1910 under William Pagan's design, became the second reinforced concrete arch bridge built in Australia.

The bridge exemplifies Queensland's railway engineering evolution, marking a shift from traditional stone arch designs to innovative concrete construction methods.

The structure features a main span of 27.4 meters with reinforced concrete arches and a ballasted deck that accommodates single-track railway traffic.

The bridge's concrete spandrel columns, arranged in pairs with cross-bracing, demonstrate advanced construction techniques from the early twentieth century.
