Report and photographs by Adrian Greeman. Doubling of the Brisbane Gateway bridge could have been seen as an opportunity to explore some of the latest bridge design trends. After all, the original high, slender, concrete arch striding over the estuary on the seaward side of the city was a deliberate statement, intended as an icon for the Queensland state capital. In the 1980s when the bridge was built, Brisbane was transforming itself from a provincial backwater into a world city. The new bridge could have been equally bold. “But to do that would have meant coming up with something utterly different,” says Mark Palmer, deputy project manager for the Leighton Abigroup Join Venture which is building the new bridge, now well into construction and rising to its full 64.5m height. “There is nothing worse than a half-hearted or mismatched variation”. Radical change is also ruled out by constraints at the site. Firstly the bridge must sit more or less alongside its 1986 original, because its function is to widen the existing motorway crossing on the same alignment. More importantly, it must keep within the same tight dimensional envelope that governed the first. It has to provide a substantial vertical clearance of some 57m. The Brisbane river has a central channel more than 9m deep, which is sufficient for big cruise liners which moor upstream. But even this height means they only just pass below the existing bridge by a metre and a half. Fortunately the river’s tidal range is not excessive. At the same time the height of the structure must be kept as low as possible, because the Brisbane International airport is located
