BRIDGES

We do have a lot of bridges here in Brisbane. So I dug into my 2011 – 2012 photos and came up with a few.

This is a night pic of the “Green Bridge” which links the University of Queensland’s St Lucia campus with the south side of the Brisbane River. It is for cycles and pedestrians only, and dedicated buses carrying students. No cars allowed. Also known as the Eleanor Schonell Bridge

The well known Story Bridge linking the Wooloongabba Stadium precinct with Fortitude valley and the CBDon the north side. Taken from the north side, looking south

Below, the Kurilpa Bridge. Also a “Green bridge” . Cyclists and pedestrians only. It has cold water drinking fountains and lookout sections with benches and great views over the river and the city.

The Walter Taylor bridge at Indooroopilly has a cycle and walking bridge attached as well as a rail bridge for the Ipswich Line. This is the pedestrian section.

The Kurilpa Bridge, below, in one of its many colorful disguises. Also known as the “Pick up Sticks” bridge, illuminated at night. Technically, a “cable stayed footbridge”.

The captain Cook bridge, coming into the city from the Gold Coast in the south.

Below, the Go-Between bridge. Named after the Band who made a record called The streets of your town.

This is underneath the heritage listed William Jolly Bridge. Shown in special event illumination in the next pic.

The mighty Victoria bridge. Its the main artery into the Brisbane CBD from the South Bank, carrying all the buses plus plenty of traffic along with cyclists, pedestrians and tricycle taxis. On the opposite bank, a familiar background to most ABCTV broadcasts the Riverside Express motorway. With its feet planted along the banks of the Brisbane river.
