Forgan Bridge, Truss bridge in Mackay, Australia
The Forgan Bridge spans 485 meters across the Pioneer River with a concrete beam structure and four traffic lanes for vehicular transportation.
The original bridge from 1938 was replaced by the current structure, which opened in 2011 after a construction period starting in May 2008.
Named after Mary Forgan, mother of former Queensland Premier William Forgan Smith, the bridge maintains connection to local political heritage.
The bridge handles approximately 30,000 vehicles daily and includes dedicated lanes for both motor vehicles and pedestrians crossing the Pioneer River.
The construction project, valued at 148 million Australian dollars, included both the main bridge and the adjacent Barnes Creek Bridge development.
