Lockyer Creek Railway Bridge, Railway viaduct in Lockyer Valley Region, Australia
The Lockyer Creek Railway Bridge spans across a dry gully with two reinforced concrete arches supported by concrete piers and abutments along the Toowoomba-Helidon railway line.
William Pagan designed this railway bridge, which began construction in 1909 and opened for traffic in 1910 as part of improvements to the Brisbane-Toowoomba transportation route.
The bridge represents a milestone in Australian engineering as the second reinforced concrete arch rail bridge constructed in the country, following Steep Rocky Creek bridge.
The structure incorporates 14-feet reinforced concrete arches with parabolic arch ribs and braced spandrel columns to support rail traffic across Lockyer Creek.
Recent renovations included sandblasting lead paint from steel trusses, replacing rusting rivets, and installing fiberglass composite decking to enhance accessibility.
