Captain Cook Bridge, Brisbane

About

The Captain Cook Bridge is a road bridge that carries the Pacific Motorway over the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built exclusively for vehicular traffic and was completed in late 1972. The bridge had its naming ceremony on 13 December 1972 and officially opened on 7 March 1973. Shortly before it opened to vehicular traffic, a one-off pedestrian walk across the bridge was held on 21 January 1973, organised by the Rotary Club of Stones Corner. The bridge crosses at the South Brisbane Reach of the river, linking the Riverside Expressway and central business district on the north side to Kangaroo Point, South Brisbane and Woolloongabba on the south side.
