Rip bridge construction photos displayed at library
A historic photographic display about the Rip Bridge "From the Ground Up" will be held daily between 9am and 4:30pm at Umina Library until the end of the month.
The bridge was built over three years from 1971 to 1974 over The Rip at the entrance to Brisbane Water.
The display follows the recent donation of photographs which document the construction of the bridge from start to finish.
Library staff described the bridge: "A massive yet graceful concrete structure nearly 330 metres in length spans the fast-flowing waters and provides an important link to the eastern side of Brisbane Water."
No bookings are required.
