On Saturday, 18 November 1978, the Merivale Railway Bridge, connecting Roma Street and South Brisbane Railway Stations was officially opened in the presence of 850 official guests.
Crossing the Brisbane River, the bridge was constructed over a period of three years and three months and reported to have cost $20.6 million.
In today's episode we discuss why the Merivale Bridge is still so important for Brisbane train travellers.
We also chat with Brad Sutton, Asset and Structures Manager at Queensland Rail and hear about the work involved in maintaining the structure.
Images discussed during the episode can be found here.
Some great historical images of the opening are available here. |
