The Blue Bridge

Anonymous

Newcomers to Victoria might be puzzled to find the Johnson Street bridge is often referred to as the “Blue Bridge”… despite it not being blue.

The name comes from the bridge’s former incarnation, which was painted the colour to cover up corrosion repairs done in the late 70’s.

While the current bridge has lost it’s iconic colour, at night, you might notice the LED lighting paying homage to the bridge that came before.
