Hornibrook Highway bridge looking towards the Redcliffe Peninsula

The Hornibrook bridge is a heritage listed road bridge on the Hornibrook highway over Bramble Bay, Brighton to the City of Clontarf in the Moreton Bay Region. The bridge was designed by Manuel Hornibrook and was built from 1932 to 1935. Following the established Ted Smout Memorial Bridge which opened in 2010 the original Hornibrook Bridge was mostly demolished, after being used since 1979 as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge only and today stands as a small jetty like feature where locals fish. In 1935 the Hornibrook Highway was officially opened by Queensland Governor, Sir Leslie Orme Wilson connecting Sandgate (called Warra by the Turrbal people) and Redcliffe (land of the Ningy Ningy people). It was Australia's longest road bridge for many decades. The bridge was closed to traffic in 1979 with the opening of the Houghton Highway and eventually demolished in 2010
