I'm sure this has been done a thousand times before, but here's my version - 3 years old now. These bridges hold 12 lanes of traffic - 6 south (right-hand bridge) and 6 north (left-hand bridge). They have a life expectancy of 300 years. The central arches only reach to a height of 24 stories; the bridges have been built low because they are near the end of the runway of Brisbane airport, and this has mean't that really large ships such as U.S. aircraft carriers and the Queen Mary 2 cannot pass through to dock in the city but have to tie up in the industrial Port of Brisbane below the bridge (to the right of this photo). Here is a more recent shot of the bridges taken on the opposite bank: www.flickr.com/photos/fasene/8708541923/in/photostream.
