Jubilee Bridge, Historic bridge in Gold Coast, Australia.
The Jubilee Bridge crossed the Nerang River, connecting Southport to Main Beach with a structure made of ironbark, spotted gum, and reinforced concrete piers.
Originally named Southport Bridge, the structure received its new name during the town's 50th anniversary celebrations in November 1925 by Lieutenant Governor William Lennon.
The bridge replaced Johann Meyer's ferry service from 1887, marking a transition from water-based to land-based transportation in the Gold Coast region.
The central span required 25 minutes to raise for boat passage until 1933, when this feature was removed due to decreased maritime traffic demands.
The bridge cost £23,000 to construct and measured 1,300 feet in length and 19 feet in width before its demolition in 1966.
