South East Queensland and Brisbane Region Public Transport Study
This study was submitted to the Government in 1970. It recommended that the crossing should follow the route, as surveyed in 1890. The Queensland State Cabinet approved the bridge in October 1971. In 1975, a contract was let to Transfield (Qld) Pty Ltd for the construction of the bridge and the line into South Brisbane station. The first pile was driven on 21 August 1975.

“Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“the Mind of Man—
My haunt, and the main region of my song.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
