Sandridge Bridge, Steel footbridge in Melbourne, Australia
The Sandridge Bridge extends diagonally across the Yarra River for 178 meters, connecting the central business district to the Southbank precinct.
Originally constructed in 1888 to support railway lines, the bridge featured innovative engineering with hollow iron columns filled with concrete for stability against floods.
Ten abstract sculptures placed along the bridge represent the immigration experience of people arriving through Station Pier in Port Melbourne.
The bridge serves as a dedicated path for pedestrians and cyclists, providing direct access between Flinders Street Station and the Arts Centre Melbourne.
The structure includes bluestone and brick buttresses on both sides, with steel girders positioned at a 33-degree angle relative to the water flow.
