Indooroopilly Railway Bridge

Indooroopilly Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Indooroopilly, Australia.

The Indooroopilly Railway Bridge is a steel truss railway bridge over the Brisbane River, 208.5 metres long in two equal spans carried on one central pier. It runs just upstream of and parallel to the Albert Bridge, linking Indooroopilly and Chelmer stations. Its parallel chord truss superstructure was fabricated in Italy by Societa Anonima Elettrificazione S.P.A.

Construction took place between 1955 and 1957 as part of an expansion project to increase capacity on the railway line toward Ipswich. Its completion allowed more trains to serve the growing region.

The bridge carries the quadruplicated Ipswich Line alongside the older Albert Bridge, linking Indooroopilly and Chelmer stations. Its steel truss superstructure was fabricated in Italy by Societa Anonima Elettrificazione S.P.A., a detail that reflects the post-war import of prefabricated steel for Queensland rail works.

The bridge carries the Ipswich Line between Indooroopilly and Chelmer stations and is not open to pedestrians. Refurbishment in 2024–2025 involves cleaning, sandblasting and repainting the steel structure, replacing the transoms, and adding a walkway and handrails for future maintenance. Expect scaffolding and work activity around the bridge during this period.

The steel truss superstructure was fabricated in Italy by Societa Anonima Elettrificazione S.P.A., then shipped to Queensland for assembly. The bridge runs parallel to and just upstream of the older Albert Bridge, so the two crossings can be compared side by side from the riverbanks.
