The
Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges are a side-by-side pair of road bridges on the
Gateway Motorway (M1), which skirts the eastern suburbs of
Brisbane,
Queensland,
Australia. The western bridge carries traffic to the north and the eastern bridge carries traffic to the south. They are the most eastern crossing of the
Brisbane River, the closest to
Moreton Bay, crossing at the
Quarries Reach, between
Eagle Farm and
Murarrie. The original bridge (formerly named the
Gateway Bridge) was opened on 11 January 1986 and cost A$92 million to build. The duplicate bridge was opened in May 2010, and cost $350 million.
