The Dickabram Bridge has a 5m plank road and a 1.07m rail line spanning the Mary River, although open to rail traffic in 1886 it was not until March 1889 before it opened to road traffic because of the delay in opening access roads.
The original road bridge across the Mary River at Miva had opened on 30 October 1878. This bridge was damaged by floods in July 1879 and swept away by floods in February 1880. A replacement road bridge was swept away by floods in October 1882.
