IMGP7816-Captain Cook Bridge across the Brisbane River
The Captain Cook Bridge creates a connection from Gardens Point to Woollongabba. It was opened in 1972 and is Queensland’s busiest traffic bridge.
As the city of Brisbane is based around the gently winding, huge volume Brisbane River, it's a given that the river is cris-crossed by many bridges. They've been constructed over the period of 150 years so vary hugely in design - from original rail bridges to modern works of architectural art.
Many of the bridges in Brisbane have been subject to damage due to flooding and some have been rebuilt a number of times.
