SRG is building the bridge with Decmil and Hawkins Civil, under the DASSH Joint Venture. The first arch was lifted into place on 28 May, followed yesterday by the second.
The double-arch cable-stayed bridge is designed to connect Williams Landing to the newly constructed island at the Elizabeth Quay development in Perth. The joint venture was awarded the construction contract in September last year (link opens in new tab).
SRG managing director David Macgeorge, said: “We are delighted to see both bridge arches now in place at Elizabeth Quay. The pedestrian and cyclist bridge will become an important centrepiece of the Perth foreshore and it has been a privilege working alongside our partners Decmil and Hawkins Civil to deliver this important component of the Elizabeth Quay project for Leighton Broad.”
Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) chief executive officer Kieran Kinsella said: "The new bridge provides a wonderful architectural focal point for the city and most importantly reconnects the popular recreational route around the Swan River.”
The next steps in the project will see the deck and architectural finishes installed, before the MRA declares the bridge open to the public at the end of the year.
