Merivale Bridge, Railway bridge in South Brisbane, Australia
The Merivale Bridge spans the Brisbane River with a double track railway line connecting South Brisbane and Roma Street stations through a 133-meter main span.
Construction of the bridge started in 1975 and finished in 1978, requiring 2000 tonnes of structural steel and 3800 tonnes of steel bars for completion.
The November 1978 opening ceremony attracted 1500 people, including train enthusiasts who lined up for the first passenger journeys across the new connection.
The bridge reduced the rail travel distance between South Brisbane and Roma Street from 21 kilometers to 1.2 kilometers for daily commuter services.
This structure remains the only inner-city rail crossing in Brisbane, serving the Beenleigh, Cleveland, and Gold Coast railway lines.
