General Information:
State Route 10 is a circuitous route in the inner suburbs of Brisbane. It takes in mostly residential and commercial areas, and passes through the central business district of the state capital, Brisbane.
There are several features along the route, including 2 one way pairs in Brisbane and South Brisbane. Another prominent feature is the William Jolly Bridge.
The William Jolly Bridge is the sixth crossing of the Brisbane River in Brisbane. 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.
