The VictoriaBridge is the fifth crossing of the Brisbane River.
The original bridge at this point on the river was a timber structure, which quickly succumbed to marine wood worm and collapsed.
A portion of the southern abutment of the previous bridge remains adjacent to the new bridge, carrying a pedestrian arch, a short remnant of tram track and a memorial to Hector Vasyli, a young boy who was killed in a traffic accident at that point when waving to servicemen returning from the First World War.
Brisbane Transport is a division of the Brisbane City Council.
Brisbane Transport's origins can be traced back to the Metropolitan Tramways and Investment Company, which established a small horse tramway under franchise from the Queensland government in Brisbane in August 1885.
Brisbane's tram system remained in private hands until 1922, at which time the Queensland government established the Brisbane Tramways Trust, which compulsorily acquired the tram network and supporting infrastructure.
