Redcliffe Bridge, road bridge in Perth, Western Australia
Redcliffe Bridge is a road and footbridge in the suburbs of Bayswater and Belmont in Western Australia that spans a local waterway. The structure has a simple design with separate pathways for pedestrians and vehicle lanes, ensuring safe passage for all users.
Designed by Maunsell & Partners and built by Thiess Contractors, the bridge was constructed from 1986 using incremental launching to keep the Swan River open to traffic. It opened on 16 April 1988 at a cost of A$15 million. In December 2023 it was renamed Mooro–Beeloo Bridge after the Whadjuk clans whose territories lie north and south of the river.
The bridge was renamed Mooro–Beeloo Bridge in December 2023, after the Whadjuk clans whose territory lay north and south of the Swan River. The old name came from the nearby suburb of Redcliffe. A shared-use path opened under the bridge in March 2023, and a small BMX and mountain bike park opened beneath it on the Bayswater side in March 2024.
Visitors should avoid the bridge during peak traffic times, especially in early morning and late afternoon when traffic is heaviest. The best time for walking is early morning or evening when fewer vehicles are on the road.
