State Route 10: Brisbane
CBD to Morningside, via Tarragindi and Holland Park
This route takes in a number of local roads and crosses
William Jolly Bridge. The William Jolly Bridge is the
sixth crossing of the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia.
It is a concrete arch bridge and was opened to traffic
on March 30, 1932 by Sir John Goodwin, the Governor
of Queensland. The designing and supervising engineer
was A.E. Harding Frew.
The William Jolly Bridge is shared by vehicular traffic,
pedestrians and cyclists. It connects Grey Street in
South Brisbane to Roma Street on the western edge of
the central business district. The bridge was conceived
as a bypass for motor traffic between the southern suburbs
and western suburbs of Brisbane to avoid increasing
traffic congestion on the Victoria Bridge and on downtown
streets such as George Street and when it opened, the
bridge was known simply as the Grey Street Bridge. It
was renamed to the William Jolly Bridge on July 5, 1955
in memory of William Jolly, the first Lord Mayor of
Greater Brisbane.
Starting at Skew, Saul and Upper Roma Streets, in the
Brisbane CBD, SR10 traverses suburbs such as South Brisbane,
Dutton Park, Annerley, before terminating on the corner
of Birdwood and Marshall Roads at Tarragindi, and takes
in the following streets and roads: Grey Street, Merivale
Street (Southbound traffic), Cordelia Street (Northbound
traffic), Vulture Street (SR41), Stanley Street, Annerley
Road, Ipswich Road (SR15), Waterton Street, Ekibin Road
East, Sexton Street, Toohey Road, Esher Street and Birdwood
Road.
