Summary
This road is now known as Waterways Drive through to Main Beach ParadeThe Jubilee Bridge was formally opened in November 1925. The bridge was first constructed with a lift span to allow boats to pass; the demands of motor traffic however saw the span removed in 1933 and the bridge widened. A new bridge designed to cater for modern traffic demands was constructed in 1966. (Information taken from: R. Longhurst, Southport: images of yesteryear 1880-1955, 1994)
