	Victoria Bridge, Brisbane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Victoria Bridge is the fifth crossing of the Brisbane River.
		The original bridge at this point on the river was a timber structure, which quickly succumbed to marine wood worm and collapsed.
		A portion of the southern abutment of the previous bridge remains adjacent to the new bridge, carrying a pedestrian arch, a short remnant of tram track and a memorial to Hector Vasyli, a young boy who was killed in a traffic accident at that point when waving to servicemen returning from the First World War.
