Fitzroy Bridge (opened 1952)

The Fitzroy Bridge, opened in 1952, is a bridge spanning the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia. It replaced an earlier bridge at the same location that was damaged beyond repair. The bridge is a significant transport artery, connecting the north and south banks of the city. Constructed of concrete and steel, the bridge is designed to withstand the significant flood events that the Fitzroy River is prone to. It is a major landmark and plays a vital role in the region's infrastructure, facilitating the movement of people and goods.
