Victoria Bridge, Brisbane

Victoria Bridge, Brisbane, Bus and pedestrian bridge across Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia.

Victoria Bridge is a pale stone-faced bridge over the Brisbane River linking South Brisbane with the CBD at North Quay. Its flat deck rises from a low point on the left and rests on thick stone piers, with slender vertical supports forming a lower level beneath. Thin curved poles line the deck, which now carries three bus lanes, two footpaths and a two-way bikeway.

A first timber bridge opened in June 1865 but was destroyed by marine woodworm and collapsed on 16 November 1867. An iron crossing, named Victoria Bridge by Governor George Phipps on 15 June 1874, was partly washed away in the 1893 flood. Its steel and wrought-iron replacement, designed by Alfred Barton Brady, served from 1897 until 1969, when the present bridge opened on 14 April.

The 1874 iron bridge was named by Governor George Phipps, 2nd Marquess of Normanby, after Queen Victoria. Since 2021 the deck has carried only buses, pedestrians and cyclists, with half the road space given to the South East Busway and a two-way bikeway branded CityLink.

The bridge is easy to access on foot and offers a safe path for pedestrians and cyclists on separate lanes. During rush hours it fills with commuters, so a quieter walk works best outside peak times.

Beside the current bridge's southern end, a surviving portion of the 1897 bridge's abutment is heritage-listed. It holds a pedestrian arch, a short remnant of tram track, and the memorial to Hector Vasyli, a boy killed by a car there while waving to servicemen returning from the First World War.
