Ted Smout Memorial Bridge, Road bridge in Redcliffe Peninsula, Australia.

The Ted Smout Memorial Bridge stretches 2.7 kilometers across Bramble Bay, connecting Clontarf and Brighton with three traffic lanes and a separate bicycle path.

The bridge construction started in 2008 and required 120,000 tonnes of concrete, with foundation piles driven 39 meters into the seabed for structural stability.

Named after Queensland's last surviving World War One veteran Ted Smout, who received France's Legion d'Honneur and lived to the age of 106.

The bridge includes a 10-meter by 50-meter fishing platform near Pine River channel and stands four meters higher than adjacent Houghton Highway.

Seventy-eight spans of 35 meters each form this structure, which incorporates an intelligent transport system and specialized expansion joints.
