Houghton Highway, Concrete bridge in Bramble Bay, Australia
The Houghton Highway spans 2.74 kilometers across Hays Inlet, connecting the cities of Redcliffe and Brisbane through a reinforced concrete structure.
Upon its completion in 1979, the Houghton Highway received its name from James Houghton, who served as the Member for Redcliffe from 1960 to 1979.
The bridge construction marks a shift in engineering practices, moving from timber structures to concrete designs for major transportation infrastructure in Queensland.
The three-lane roadway incorporates a tidal flow system that adjusts traffic patterns during peak hours to reduce congestion between Brisbane and Redcliffe.
The structure consists of 99 spans supported by approximately 400 T-beams, with each section resting on headstocks connected to five octagonal piles.
