Hornibrook Bridge, Heritage footbridge between Brighton and Clontarf, Australia
The 2.685-kilometer timber and concrete bridge spans across Hays Inlet, connecting Brighton to the Redcliffe Peninsula with Art Deco portals at both ends.
Construction of the bridge, completed in 1935, provided employment during the Great Depression and served as a military transport route in World War II.
The bridge stands as a testament to Queensland's infrastructure development, leading to the growth of coastal communities and improved regional connectivity.
After serving vehicles until 1979, the structure transformed into a pedestrian pathway, allowing visitors to walk across Bramble Bay and observe marine life.
Local residents named it 'Humpity Bump' due to its uneven surface, while king tides would send waves crashing against the structure during crossings.
