75yrs for Brisbane Story Bridge
04 July 2015 by News Desk
Tens of thousands of people gathered at the Story Bridge in Brisbane to mark the structure’s 75th anniversary.
The kilometre-long, heritage-listed steel bridge was closed to traffic as 74,000 people enjoyed live entertainment and food stalls. Mayor Graham Quirk said: “People are in good spirits and they are loving the opportunity to enjoy the view from the centre of the bridge.”
The six-lane bridge linking Fortitude Valley with Kangaroo Point took five years to build and was completed in July 1940.
