Story Bridge

Brisbane, AUSTRÀLIA 2023

 

The Story Bridge is one of Brisbane's most iconic landmarks. Opened in 1940, this cantilever bridge spans the Brisbane River, connecting the suburbs of Kangaroo Point and Fortitude Valley. Its design was inspired by the Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal, Canada. Built during the Great Depression, it was a crucial public works project that provided employment for many residents. Today, the bridge is famous for its "climbs," an adventure activity that offers panoramic 360° views of the city. In addition to being a major transport link for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, the bridge is illuminated at night, creating a spectacular urban landscape.
