Gateway Bridge, Brisbane
The Gateway Bridge is at the centre of the main north-south Brisbane, Australia, City bypass link, the Gateway Motorway which skirts the eastern side of the city. It is the crossing of the Brisbane River closest to Moreton Bay and crosses at the Quarries Reach, in between Eagle Farm and Hemmant.
The bridge has six lanes (three in each direction). The funding for the bridge, as well as other metroads around Brisbane, is serviced by a toll plaza at the south end of the bridge.
A multi-billion dollar duplication of the existing bridge has been announced. An indentical twin will be built next to the current structure.
