Colleges Crossing, Concrete beam bridge in Chuwar, Australia

Colleges Crossing is a low-level bridge carrying Mount Crosby Road over the Brisbane River at Chuwar, in the Ipswich suburb of South East Queensland. It replaced an earlier structure washed away by floods and was opened in 1894. The road across it becomes impassable during major floods or water releases from Wivenhoe Dam.

Colleges Crossing opened in 1894, replacing an earlier structure that floods had washed away; the Mayor of Ipswich, H.E. Wyman, attended the ceremony. It was the district's first river crossing, giving access across the Brisbane River before any bridge was built. The low-level crossing carries Mount Crosby Road and is submerged during major floods or Wivenhoe Dam releases.

The crossing is named after George College (sometimes spelled Colledge), who bought land on the north side of the Brisbane River in 1854. It was the district's first river crossing, giving access across the river before any bridge existed. The reserve beside it has drawn picnickers from Brisbane and Ipswich since the early 1920s.

The crossing is a low-level bridge on Mount Crosby Road, so it goes under when the Brisbane River floods or Wivenhoe Dam releases water. Swimming downstream of the crossing is not recommended because of bull sharks and poor water quality; in 1960 two shark attacks were reported. Upstream, Mount Crosby Weir and Pumping Station lie about 4.5 km away.

Downstream of the crossing, swimming is discouraged because of bull sharks and poor water quality; in January 1939 the Courier Mail reported a 4 ft 6 in bluenose shark landed on a rod and reel at the bathing spot, and two shark attacks were reported in 1960.
