Gairloch Bridge, Road bridge in Ingham, Queensland, Australia.
The Gairloch Bridge spans the Herbert River with fourteen spans measuring 14 meters long and 4.8 meters wide, featuring steel trough decking.
Constructed between 1890 and 1891, this low-level crossing marked the first road bridge design by Alfred Barton Brady, who later became Queensland's Government Architect.
The bridge construction responded to the needs of sugar cane farmers in the Herbert River valley, connecting agricultural areas to the seaport at Dungeness.
The bridge incorporates a design that allows complete submersion during flood events, with steel troughs reducing obstruction from water-carried debris.
This structure represents one of Queensland's earliest bridges to use Portland cement concrete in its abutments and piers instead of traditional timber.
