Albert Bridge, Brisbane, Railway bridge in Brisbane, Australia

Albert Bridge is a steel truss railway bridge across the Brisbane River between Indooroopilly and Chelmer. It has two long spans carried on masonry abutments and a single central concrete pier encased in an iron caisson, a design meant to leave flood water room to pass. A footway runs along the upstream side.

The bridge was constructed between 1894 and 1895 to replace an earlier structure destroyed by flood waters. It became a vital link in Queensland's rail network and continues to operate today.

Both bridges on this site were named for the Prince of Wales, Prince Albert, who later reigned as Edward VII. The 1895 contract required as much work as possible to be done in Queensland: McCormick & Son set up a workshop beside the site at Indooroopilly, and up to 240 people worked there at a time. Freestone came from Pearson's quarries at Helidon, bluestone for the concrete from Jenkin's Bundamba quarry, and granite for the bedstones and cutwater quoins from Mount Crosby.

The Albert Bridge carries only passenger trains today; a second, unnamed railway bridge built in 1957 for the quadruplication of the Ipswich line stands between it and the Walter Taylor Bridge. The upstream footway dates from the bridge's opening and served pedestrians until the Walter Taylor Bridge opened in 1937.

The central pier's foundation caisson weighed about 230 long tons, sat 81 feet below high water mark and was sunk 2 feet into riverbed rock. Divers removed the rock by hand, and cutting the bedrock for this single pier took four months.
