The Dickabram Bridge is a heritage-listed road-and-rail bridge over the Mary River near Miva, north-west of Gympie in Queensland, Australia. It was the major bridge on the Kingaroy line. The bridge is one of only two remaining road-and-rail bridges in Australia〔 and the only one in Queensland. It is the oldest remaining large steel truss bridge constructed in Queensland.〔 The steel and timber truss bridge, built by McDermott Owen & Co., was completed in November 1886 and the line opened for traffic between Dickabram and Kilkivan on 6 December 1886. It is 191m long and stands 23m above the Mary River. All spans are metal trusses except for the 11m approach spans which are tied timber girders. The two river piers are cast iron cylinders; the remaining piers and road deck are timber. The name of the bridge comes from a local Aboriginal word ''Dickabram'' meaning Sweet potato that grew along the river flats there. The bridge decking was submerged under water only once during the 1893 floods. The extensive restoration of the bridge, involving replacement of hardwood timber beams and decking, was completed in April 2009. ==Heritage listing== The bridge was registered on the former Register of the National Estate in 1988. It was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dickabram Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
