点评:Making history,
By passing the bridge “Story”.
The Story Bridge:
A Symbol of Brisbane’s History and Resilience and
one of the longest cantilever bridges in Australia
(777 meters).
The Story Bridge is one of Brisbane’s most iconic landmarks, with a fascinating history dating back to the 1930s. Designed by Dr. John Bradfield, the same engineer behind the Sydney Harbour Bridge, construction began in 1935 during the Great Depression. The project provided much-needed jobs for around 400 workers, helping the local economy through tough times.
Completed in 1940, the bridge was originally called the Jubilee Bridge but was renamed to honor John Douglas Story, a prominent Queensland public servant. The Story Bridge spans the Brisbane River, connecting the northern and southern suburbs, and plays a crucial role in the city's infrastructure even today.
Beyond its functionality, the bridge is now a popular tourist destination. Visitors can enjoy the Story Bridge Adventure Climb, taking in breathtaking views of Brisbane from the top.
Heritage-listed since 1992, it stands as a proud symbol of Brisbane's resilience, history, and enduring spirit.
翻译:创造历史,
途经“故事桥”。
故事桥:
布里斯班历史与韧性的象征,
澳大利亚最长的悬臂桥之一
(777米)
故事桥是布里斯班最具标志性的地标之一,其历史可以追溯到20世纪30年代。它由约翰·布拉德菲尔德博士设计,他也是悉尼海港大桥的设计者。大桥于1935年大萧条时期开工建设。该项目为约400名工人提供了急需的就业机会,帮助当地经济度过了难关。
大桥于1940年竣工,最初名为“禧年桥”,后为纪念昆士兰州杰出的公务员约翰·道格拉斯·斯托里而更名为故事桥。故事桥横跨布里斯班河,连接南北郊区,至今仍是这座城市基础设施的重要组成部分。
除了其功能性之外,这座桥现在也是一个热门的旅游景点。游客可以体验故事桥探险攀登,从桥顶饱览布里斯班令人叹为观止的美景。
故事桥自 1992 年被列入遗产名录以来,一直是布里斯班坚韧不拔、悠久历史和不屈精神的骄傲象征。
