Q150 bridge naming
Bridge the name gap
Turning 150 is special — as is the chance to name public infrastructure as a lasting commemoration of the integral role roads and bridges have played in building Queensland's prosperity.
The department has selected significant bridges on state-controlled roads across Queensland to be named by Queenslanders.
A list of bridges to be named is located in the information section below.
Local community members are invited to suggest names that celebrate something special about their area.
The department is searching for names that mean something special in describing these vital structures across Queensland.
Possible names:
- could honour an individual who or group that has been integral to a community’s success or well-being
- could be explorers or pioneers, sports people, civic leaders, successful performers or artists that have a link to the local area
- don’t have to relate to people – they could be Indigenous, fauna or flora species or historical events.
The scope is open.
The project kicked off in early 2009 with the department’s regional offices calling for name submissions on chosen bridges through the local media.
A decision-making panel including community representatives will recommend a new name based on public submissions.
