Matagarup Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Burswood Peninsula, Australia.
The steel suspension bridge spans 370 meters across the Swan River, connecting East Perth to the Burswood Peninsula with twin arches reaching 72 meters high.
Construction of the bridge began in November 2015 with local company Civmec manufacturing the components, leading to its public opening in July 2018.
The name Matagarup originates from Nyungar language, referring to the area where the river becomes shallow enough for crossing on foot.
The bridge provides direct access to Optus Stadium from East Perth, with lighting systems illuminating the structure for pedestrians during evening events.
Visitors can participate in bridge climbing activities or descend via a 400-meter zipline that reaches speeds of 75 kilometers per hour.
