Merivale Bridge, Railway bridge in South Brisbane, Australia
Merivale Bridge is a railway viaduct that crosses the Brisbane River and links two inner-city stations together. The structure carries two rail tracks above the water and forms a key part of the regional rail network serving multiple lines.
The structure was built during the 1970s and opened to create a more direct rail link through the city center. It represented an important step in modernizing Brisbane's rail infrastructure at that time.
The bridge is woven into the daily routines of commuters who pass over it regularly as part of their journeys across the city. It connects two major transit points that many people depend on for their movement around Brisbane.
Passengers can board trains at either station that connect to this crossing. The best views of the structure are available from the platforms or from nearby riverfront areas where the bridge is visible from below.
The crossing can be observed from multiple vantage points, especially when traveling on the river itself by boat. Its steel construction is characteristic of infrastructure built during that era and remains a distinctive feature of the river landscape.
