Merivale Bridge, Brisbane
The Merivale Bridge is the seventh crossing of the Brisbane River. It crosses the Milton Reach of the river, slightly to the west of the William Jolly Bridge.
It is exclusively a railway crossing. It occurs between the stations of South Brisbane and Roma Street.
The Merivale Bridge opened on 18 November 1978, linking the northern and southern elements of the Citytrain system by a more direct route than the existing route via Corinda. It was designed by Cameron McNamara Pty Ltd (consulting engineers) and was fabricated and erected by Transfield (Qld) Pty Ltd.
