The original Victoria Bridge on the Mersey River Devonport, Tasmania, Australia was opened in 190 thus reducing the reliance on boat and ferry traffic.
The Victoria Bridge partly collapsed as a result of the continuous boring by teredo worms in 1924.
In 1973 a new concrete bridge replaced the old, battered Victoria Bridge, with the Bass Highway, a national highway (Highway 1), being the main arterial road dividing the suburb of Devonport from the suburbs of Miandetta and Stony Rise on the western side of the city and East Devonport and Ambelside on the eastern side of the city.
A permanent speed camera at East Devonport near Victoria Bridge capable of operating in multiple directions was installed 18 November 2015.[3]
On a crossing of the Victoria Bridge there is a good view of the port and its facilities. Most travellers look out to see if the Spirit of Tasmania I or Spirit of Tasmania II are in port or the trader vessels Searoad Mersey or Searoad Tamar. Enhancing the view of the boats in port is the Julie Burgess a wooden tall ship.
