Description: Spanning the waters of Lake Burley Griffin, Kings Avenue Bridge stands as one of Canberra's defining infrastructural achievements and a vital thread in the fabric of Australia's capital. This richly detailed exploration traces the bridge's origins as the city's first major crossing, the engineering ingenuity behind its construction, and the mid-century expansions that shaped its modern form. From architectural flourishes and daily traffic flows to ongoing restoration efforts, the book offers a comprehensive portrait of a structure that is as much a civic landmark as it is a feat of design. A must-read for enthusiasts of Australian history, urban planning, and the quiet stories embedded in everyday landmarks.
