Centenary Bridge

The Centenary Bridge spans across the Brisbane River with six sections, connecting the suburbs of Fig Tree Pocket and Jindalee through multiple traffic lanes.

The original two-lane bridge opened in 1964, funded by LJ Hooker, and underwent major expansion in 1987 to accommodate increased traffic with two lanes in each direction.

The bridge construction reflected the suburban development patterns of Brisbane's western region during the mid-twentieth century, marking a period of urban expansion.

The bridge handles approximately 85,000 vehicles daily and includes dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists, linking communities on both sides of the Brisbane River.

During the 1974 floods, authorities used dynamite to sink a barge that had collided with the bridge to prevent potential collapse from flood water blockage.
