Kurilpa Bridge

Brisbane, AUSTRÀLIA 2023

 

The Kurilpa Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge that spans the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia. It opened in 2009 and is notable for its unique architectural design based on tensegrity principles. The bridge connects the central business district (CBD) with the South Bank Parklands, facilitating active transport. It offers impressive views of the city skyline and the river. At night, the bridge is illuminated by an elaborate system of colour-changing LED lights. Its name, "Kurilpa," comes from a local Aboriginal word meaning "place of water rats." The bridge's design minimises its environmental impact. It has received several awards for its innovative design and sustainability. It is a significant link for pedestrians and cyclists in the city.
