25.01.2022 Happy 85th birthday to the Hornibrook Bridge! Connecting the Redcliffe Peninsula to Brisbane’s northern suburbs, this iconic bridge changed our region forever Here are some fun facts:... Sir Manuel Richard Hornibrook built this bridge during the Great Depression of the 1930s creating hundreds of jobs At the time, it was the longest bridge in Australia at 2.6 kilometres It was also one of the first privately owned toll bridges in Queensland It is fondly remembered as the bumpy ride between Sandgate and Clontarf by some of our older Redcliffe residents You can check out exclusive memorabilia from the bridge at the Redcliffe Library until Friday 23 October or see the permanent display at the Redcliffe Museum Now it’s your turn to share your favourite memories of the Hornibrook Bridge with us
