Tramway Lift Bridge over Maroochy River
Tramway Lift Bridge over Maroochy River, Railway bridge in Nambour, Australia
The Tramway Lift Bridge spans across the Maroochy River with two timber lift towers and a manual operating mechanism for vertical movement.
Constructed in 1921, this bridge formed part of the Moreton Central Sugar Mill operations, connecting the mill to surrounding cane farms through an extensive tramway system.
The bridge represents a technological milestone in Queensland's transportation network, enabling the growth of local sugar production and regional development.
The structure lifts vertically to a height of 7.9 meters, providing 5.33 meters of clearance above the high water mark for river vessels to pass underneath.
This manually operated lift bridge remains one of the few surviving examples of its type in Queensland, featuring timber construction with concrete-covered support piers.
