Detail InformationEdit
“Hornibrook Bridge was one of three bridges that crossed Bramble Bay, Queensland, Australia. The second is the Houghton Highway, which was built to accommodate rising traffic levels on the two-lane Hornibrook Bridge in the 1970s to increase capacity and cope with future demand. The third is the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge, which opened to traffic in July 2010 and led to the Hornibrook Bridge being closed shortly after.
The Hornibrook Bridge was opened by Queensland Premier Arthur Edward Moore on 14 October 1935, connecting the Redcliffe district at Clontarf and Brisbane City at Brighton. It is one of the oldest timber and girder bridges in Australia, and, at 2.684 kilometres (1.668 mi), is the longest in the country. When built, it was the longest bridge in the southern hemisphere, and the second longest in the World after the Maestri Bridge in the United States. Today, it is the second longest bridge in the southern hemisphere, shorter than only the Makinac Bridge. This bridge originally had two traffic lanes and a pedestrian footpath. It was named after Sir Manuel Hornibrook, the chief engineer of the project.
Timber for the construction of the bridge was brought down the North Pine and Pine rivers on barges. The hardwood used in piles and girders mostly came from timber mills around Maleny.”
