Alexandra Railway Bridge, Heritage railway bridge in Rockhampton, Australia
The Alexandra Railway Bridge spans the Fitzroy River with five metal truss sections, including two spans of 75 meters and two of 30.5 meters length.
Constructed between 1898 and 1899, the bridge received its name after Alexandra, Princess of Wales, during the official opening ceremony on November 6, 1899.
The structure represents Queensland's engineering advancement, as it introduced the first riveted through Pratt trusses in the regional railway network.
The bridge maintains a single railway line with a southeastern pedestrian walkway, operating under specific weight restrictions to ensure long-term structural integrity.
During World War II, the bridge received temporary decking modifications to accommodate American military convoys, adapting its function beyond regular rail transport.
