This is a pedestrian bridge that spans the Brisbane River from the North to the Southend, where you will find a great cultural centre of museums, the National Library and a great park as well as a Big Dipper ride.

Kurilpa Bridge

Reviewed By saronic - Zurich, Switzerland

From Tank Street in CBD, very close to my accomodation in the Infinity Tower, one of the tallest buildings of Brisbane, it was natural that I would use the pedestrian and cyclist only Kurilpa Bridge to get to the Southbank, where one arrives between the Kurilpa Point Park and the GOMA (Museum of Modern Art). The bridge looks rather odd with its masts sticking out in different directions and all the cables in between. This has to do that with the fact that it was built along the modern concept of tensegrity (tensional integrity) and till today it is considered the longest bridge - with its 425m - to have been constructed along these rather demanding principles, offering great stability though, once completed. In 2011 the bridge was declared as 'World Transport Building of the Year'. The bridge has a canopy for protection and there are platforms with benches that offer great views over the Brisbane river in both directions. From the Southbank I used the Goodwill Bridge, the other pedestrian-cyclist only bridge in Brisbane, a bit further to the east, to go back to CBD.

Victoria Bridge Abutment

Reviewed By 286AndrewM - Melbourne, Australia

Just a small remnant of a past bridge across the Brisbane River. There is a plaque attached to the abutment, which makes for a sad but special piece of history.
