Adelaide's Albert Bridge
The Albert Bridge is the oldest large road bridge in the Adelaide city area. The foundation stone was laid on 20 August 1878 by the Mayor of Adelaide. The Bridge was opened in May 1879 and was named after Prince Albert to honour his visit to the colony that year. Designed by engineers John H Grainger and H E Worsley and built by M C Davies and J Wishart under the supervision of City Surveyor J H Langdon, the Albert replaced a timber structure built twenty years earlier. The bridge consists of three-span scalloped iron girders, cast iron cylindrical piers, elegant cast iron handrails and abutments made from Tea Tree Gully stone. The Bridge is 36.6m long.
