Queens Bridge, Road bridge in Melbourne, Australia
Queens Bridge spans the Yarra River with five wrought iron plate girder spans, connecting Market Street and William Street to Queensbridge Street.
The construction of Queens Bridge in 1889 replaced an earlier timber footbridge from 1860, marking a period of infrastructure development in Melbourne.
The bridge location holds significance as the former site of Yarra Falls, where Aboriginal clans Woiwurrung and Boon wurrung crossed their territories.
The bridge extends 96 meters in length and 30 meters in width, accommodating vehicles, trams on route 58, and pedestrian traffic.
In 1910, magician Harry Houdini performed a daring escape act by jumping from Queens Bridge while in shackles, completing it in under one minute.
