Pedestrian bridge opens in Sydney CBD

Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Andrew Constance, has announced the opening of a new pedestrian bridge over Sydney’s Sussex Street.

The pedestrian bridge provides direct access into the Barangaroo precinct, which is expected to be completed by 2023.

“This is one of many new landmarks appearing on Sydney’s changing western foreshore – providing a new access point to this rapidly developing area,” Constance said.

“The new pedestrian bridge will connect to the new Wynyard Walk tunnel which is currently under construction.”

The bridge will eventually give transport customers to the new Barangaroo Ferry Hub which is due to be completed in 2016.

Three 42-tonne bridge beams were lifted into place over Sussex Street to build the structure.

The Barangaroo development is expected to accommodate for up to 23,000 office workers and attract up to 33,000 visitors each day.
