Story Bridge
The Story Bridge, opened in July 1940, was named after John Douglas Story - a public servant, and currently has 6 lanes of traffic, plus a footpath and bikeway either side.
These days the bridge links Fortitude Valley with Kangaroo Point. At a distance of 777 metres long, it is a steel cantilever bridge. Apart from its historical significance, there’s the great Hotel that takes its name, almost under its span.
At the annual Riverfire event, the bridge becomes a centre for incredible fireworks displays.
