Seafarers Bridge

About

The Seafarers Bridge is a cable-stayed footbridge across the Yarra River, located in the city centre of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia. The bridge links to city centre with Docklands and South Wharf. The single-span two-pylon cable-stayed bridge connects the north and south banks of the river while providing a formal entrance to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. The bridge main span is supported by steel ties connected to elliptical arches, with three arches on the north side and four arches on the south side. The bridge was named in homage to the ‘Mission to Seafarers’ centre located nearby on the northern bank of the Yarra River and to represent Melbourne's rich maritime history.
