		Bridge Foundations: The bridge's 45 foundation piles range in diameter from 500mm to 1500mm and are reinforced with 350-grade steel and 60 cubic metres of concrete.
		The bridge was scheduled to be opened by Queen Elizabeth II during her visit for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting summit to be held in Brisbane, but after the postponement of that meeting in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the bridge was instead opened by Queensland Premier, Peter Beattie.
		Spanning the Brisbane River between the southern end of South Bank Parklands and the CBD via the Queensland University of Technology campus, the bridge provides a vital link for pedestrians and cyclists, especially since the closest train station to QUT is in South Bank.

	Resources - Demolishing Brisbane - 26 September 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Erection of 20-storey office towers in the late 1960s and 1970s gave Brisbane more of a capital city feel, but the flood suggested that its country town origins were never far from the surface.
		Exciting architectural developments were happening at the coast but Brisbane, not quite convinced of its metropolitan status, lingered in a 'big country town' identity.
		Brisbane's country town intimacy was nowhere better reflected than on the corner of George and Alice Streets, where Parliament House, the Bellevue Hotel (home to 27 out-of-town parliamentarians), the Botanic Gardens and the Queensland Club created a street corner larger in scale but similar in feel to Rockhampton or Maryborough.
