Forgan Bridge, Road bridge in Mackay, Queensland, Australia

Forgan Bridge is a four-lane road bridge over the Pioneer River in Mackay, 485 metres long, opened in 2011 to replace the 1938 structure. It was built as part of the A$148 million Forgan Bridge Replacement and Duplication Project, which also replaced the Barnes Creek Bridge and widened Barnes Creek Road.

The first Forgan Bridge opened on 30 March 1938, opened by Mrs Forgan Smith, wife of Queensland Premier William Forgan Smith, replacing the earlier Sydney Street Bridge. It was named in memory of Mary Forgan, the premier's mother. In May 2008 work began on a A$148 million replacement and duplication project covering the Forgan Bridge, the Barnes Creek Bridge and Barnes Creek Road; the new four-lane, 485-metre bridge opened on 14 August 2011.

The name honours Mary Forgan, mother of Queensland premier William Forgan Smith; his wife, also named Mrs Forgan Smith, opened the 1938 bridge on 30 March. The 2011 opening was performed by Main Roads Minister Craig Wallace with local MP Tim Mulherin and Mackay mayor Col Meng.

The current four-lane crossing opened on 14 August 2011, replacing the 1938 two-lane bridge; the A$148 million project also rebuilt the Barnes Creek Bridge and widened Barnes Creek Road. It carries road traffic over the Pioneer River in central Mackay, so cross on foot via the road formation and watch for vehicles.

The A$148 million project replaced two bridges: the Forgan Bridge and the Barnes Creek Bridge, and also widened Barnes Creek Road. Work ran in two stages, with new two-lane bridges built first, then the old bridges demolished and replaced. The new Forgan Bridge was opened on 14 August 2011 by Main Roads Minister Craig Wallace, local MP Tim Mulherin and Mackay mayor Col Meng.
