Lockyer Creek Railway Bridge, Metal truss bridge in Clarendon, Australia.

The Lockyer Creek Railway Bridge spans 30.5 meters over the creek with a double lattice girder design and metal structural components.

Built between 1885 and 1886 by H A Brigg under Henry Charles Stanley's design, the bridge operated until the railway closure in March 1993.

The bridge represents Queensland's engineering development during the late 19th century as part of the Brisbane Valley railway expansion projects.

The structure received multiple reinforcements, including a central timber pier in 1932 and concrete bases for enhanced stability in 1968.

This metal truss bridge held the record for the longest span of its type in Queensland until 1932, measuring 30.5 meters across Lockyer Creek.
