[edit] Article name change to 'Brisbane river crossings'?

Now that a tunnel is on the way (I think), should this article be moved to Brisbane River crossings? Or maybe something different.--Commander Keane 10:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I think that the article should remain exclusively for Brisbane's bridges.

The tunnel underneath the Brisbane River could be added to the main Brisbane River article for now - with the possibility of, perhaps, later creating a specific article for Brisbane's tunnels (which could include the tunnel beneath the Brisbane River). Figaro 01:43, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Commander Keane for the sake of completeness. It would also include links to the ferries I suppose. However, there is a specific page for the tunnels already - TransApex, with links to each one. SM247^{My Talk} 02:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing bridges (upstream)

What about bridges further upstream, such as Colleges Crossing, Mount Crosby Wier, Kholo Bridge (each have at least one side in Brisbane, and cross the Brisbane River). (See UBD Map 193 / 194) or Maps (though not named google maps)

[edit] Unnamed bridge

According to the book The Brisbane River: A pictoral history this bridge is actually called the Indooroopilly Railway Bridge. It opened in 1895, two years after the 1893 floods destroyed the previous railway bridge, which was called the Albert Railway Bridge. Still in use today, it makes the Indooroopilly Railway Bridge the oldest bridge to cross the Brisbane River. I will update this page and the Brisbane bridges template as well as add some excellent historical references to the Brisbane River page, asap. - Shiftchange (talk) 11:50, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

• I think I am getting confused between my reference and contradictory information on the Albert Bridge, Brisbane page, again. I wont be making any changes to the article or template, till I work it out. - Shiftchange (talk) 11:59, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
