From the 1870s there has been a continuing process of improving the Main Line between Brisbane and Toowoomba because of its importance as a major arterial route. As part of that process, which required the replacement of original bridges to carry heavier loads, construction work began in 1909 on a reinforced concrete arch bridge over Lockyer Creek at {{convert|77|mi|55|chain}} immediately following the construction of one at {{convert|75|mi|48|chain}}. Design of the innovative bridge was completed and signed by Chief Engineer, William Pagan on 31 March 1910. The bridge and deviation were completed and brought into use on 21 December 1911.[1] DescriptionA concrete arch bridge aligned on a straight alignment and carrying a single track on a ballasted deck.
