Seafarers Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Melbourne, Australia.
The Seafarers Bridge stretches across the Yarra River, connecting the Docklands district to South Wharf through a steel structure with distinctive elliptical arches.
Nicholas Grimshaw designed this bridge, which opened in 2009 as part of Melbourne's infrastructure development to improve connectivity between the north and south banks.
The bridge name acknowledges the Mission to Seafarers center on the northern bank, reflecting the maritime traditions of Melbourne's waterfront district.
The 75-meter span accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, providing direct access to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from multiple entry points.
The structure features an asymmetrical arrangement of arches, with three on the north side and four larger ones on the south, creating a progressive elevation toward Plenary Hall.
