Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is what you call bridging the gap!

The greatest building project undertaken in Queensland during the Great Depression, the Story Bridge was designed by Dr John Bradfield, a gifted engineer who was born in the Brisbane suburb of Sandgate. Evans-Deakin Hornibrook Constructions Limited was awarded the contract to construct what was at first referred to as the Jubilee Bridge in April 1935. Premier William Forgan Smith turned the first sod the following month and the 446-metre symmetrical cantilevered bridge was officially opened by Governor Sir Leslie Orme Wilson on 6 July 1940.

The name of the bridge was altered to honour J.D. Story, an influential public servant who had been a powerful advocate for the bridge and served on the board to oversee its construction.

The Story Bridge remains as an important link across the Brisbane River.
