Saltwater Creek Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Bundaberg, Australia.
The Saltwater Creek Railway Bridge spans across Bundaberg Creek with one steel plate girder span and multiple timber spans supported by various piers.
Built in 1894 by James Overend, the bridge formed part of a private railway connecting Bundaberg to the Millaquin sugar refinery before government acquisition in 1912.
The bridge represents Queensland's industrial development, connecting urban centers to agricultural facilities during the expansion of sugar production in the region.
The structure underwent reinforcement in 1965 with steel girders from the Gold Coast to support increased axle loading for modern railway requirements.
The bridge maintains its position as Queensland's second oldest structure featuring screw piles, demonstrating late 19th-century engineering techniques.
