The bridge connects [[Fortitude Valley]] to [[Kangaroo Point, Queensland|Kangaroo Point]]. The Story Bridge opened in 1940 and was tolled until 1947. It is named after prominent public servant [[John Douglas Story]].<ref name="nwt"/> In March 2025, the joint pedestrian and cycle paths on the outer edges of the bridge were closed indefinitely. [[Brisbane City Council]] had deemed the paths unsafe after the discovery of rust and concrete cancer.

Even while the first [[Victoria Bridge, Brisbane|Victoria Bridge]] was being constructed between North Brisbane and [[South Brisbane]] in 1865, several hundred people were petitioning for a second bridge to be built from the [[Customs House, Brisbane|Customs House]] to Kangaroo Point.<ref> [[The Brisbane Courier]]. |date=16 March 1865 |access-date=6 August 2015 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> In 1888, a meeting was held in the [[First Brisbane Town Hall|Brisbane Town Hall]] to demand a bridge connecting either [[George Street, Brisbane|George Street]], [[Albert Street, Brisbane|Albert Street]] or [[Edward Street, Brisbane|Edward Street]] via the [[City Botanic Gardens]] with any loss of the land from the gardens to be potentially compensated by removing [[Government House, Brisbane|Government House]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article187796383 |title=Brisbane River Bridge. |newspaper=[[The Telegraph (Brisbane)|The Telegraph]] |location=Brisbane |date=3 November 1888 |access-date=6 August 2015 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> ===Planning=== A bridge downstream of the [[Victoria Bridge, Brisbane|Victoria Bridge]] was part of a larger plan, devised by [[Roger Hawken|Professor Roger Hawken]] of the [[University of Queensland]] in the 1920s, for a series of bridges over the [[Brisbane River]] to alleviate congestion on Victoria Bridge and to divert traffic away from the [[Brisbane central business district]]. The [[William Jolly Bridge]] was the first of the Hawken Plan bridges to be constructed. Lack of funds precluded the construction of the downstream bridge at that time. Initially plans called for a [[transporter bridge]] further downstream near [[New Farm, Queensland|New Farm]]. In 1926 Kangaroo Point was recommended by the Brisbane City Council's Cross River Commission.<ref name=thenandnow>{{cite book |title=Brisbane Then and Now |last=Gregory |first=Helen |year=2007 |publisher=Salamander Books |location=Wingfield, South Australia |isbn=978-1-74173-011-1 |page=92}}</ref> Subsequently, the bridge was constructed as a [[public works]] program during the [[Great Depression]].

In June 1934 Bradfield's recommendation of a steel cantilever bridge was approved. The design for the bridge was based heavily on that of the [[Jacques Cartier Bridge]] in [[Montreal]], completed in 1930.<ref name="thenandnow" /> On 30 April 1935 a consortium of two Queensland companies, [[Evans Deakin]] and [[Hornibrook Constructions]], won the tender with a bid of Β£1,150,000.<ref name="lhbris" /><ref name="moy">'Story Bridge: Idea to Icon' by Michael Moy, published Alpha Orion Press, Brisbane, 2005</ref> [[File:Inspection of the Story Bridge.png|thumb|left|[[Governor of Queensland]] [[Leslie Orme Wilson|Sir Leslie Orme Wilson]] and consulting engineer Bradfield inspecting the bridge, 7 July 1938]] Construction on the bridge began on 24 May 1935,<ref name="lhbris"/> with the first sod being turned by the then [[Premiers of Queensland|Premier of Queensland]], [[William Forgan Smith]].

There was no need for an anchor pier on the northern bank as the bridge was anchored into [[schist]] cliff face. The primary challenge in constructing the bridge was the southern foundations that went {{convert|40|m}} below ground level. It was not possible to excavate to that level as water from the river would rapidly seep in. So a pneumatic [[Caisson (engineering)|caisson]] technique had to be used. As men were working under pressures of up to 4 times normal air pressure, a decompression period of almost 2 hours was needed at the end of each shift to avoid the [[Decompression sickness|bends]]. An on-site air lock hospital successfully treated the 65 cases of the bends that occurred.<ref name=moy/> On 28 October 1939 the gap between the two sides was closed.<ref name="lhbris"/> A concrete decking was then laid, covered by a Trinidad pitch topping. The bridge was painted and sodium lighting was installed.
