Abstract
The Modern Bridge (1969-Present): In the 1960s, the decision was made to replace the old iron bridge with a new, modern structure. The current Victoria Bridge, which opened in 1969, is a more contemporary design, featuring concrete and steel. This version was built to accommodate the growing traffic needs of the city and improve safety and functionality. In 2021 the the Victoria Bridge was permanently closed to general car traffic. The bridge has 3 lanes for Brisbane Metro bus system, a two way bikeway for cyclist and walkways for pedestrians.
