William Jolly Bridge — Attraction in Brisbane City

The William Jolly Bridge is a great connection way from South Brisbane to Milton and other North Western suburbs. Accessible by pedestrian, bicycle, skateboard, scooter, car and motorcycle. The bridge is lit up by artistic expressions at times via 2 industrial size projection posts on either side of the bridge.

The texture of the concrete arches painted white is a tad rough though. Considering all of the above, I think it would be appropriate to give this bridge a 7.8 out of 10. With a touch of colour it would come in at around an...
