The Victoria Bridge is the fifth crossing of the Brisbane River . The current bridge, opened in 1969 , is the third permanent crossing erected at this location. It is shared by vehicular traffic, pedestrians and cyclists. It connects the South Bank Parklands and Queensland Cultural Centre to the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD). Half of the road space on the bridge is now given over to the South-East Busway . In the Brisbane City Centre Draft Masterplan, a new crossing immediately adjacent to the Victoria Bridge, tentatively named the Adelaide Street Bridge (the name of the connecting street in the CBD), will carry pedestrian, cyclist, bus and possibly light-rail traffic, freeing up the Victoria Bridge for cars.
