Elizabeth Quay Bridge

The Elizabeth Quay Bridge forms a wide, white arch that loops sixty-five feet above the water, connecting the two sides of the inlet. Architects designed the structure with a steep curvature that forces pedestrians to rise and fall as they traverse the walkway. During the planning phase, engineers encountered a major challenge with the shifting riverbed soil, which required them to anchor the bridge foundations sixty feet deep into the limestone. Today, cyclists and walkers share this narrow, suspended ribbon.
