Boorloo Bridge

About

Boorloo Bridge is a pedestrian and cycle crossing comprising two cable-stayed bridges about 250 metres (820 ft) apart that span two separate channels of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia. These two bridges are connected by the pedestrian and cycle path across Heirisson Island that they carry to the East Perth and Victoria Park foreshores. The crossing facilitates the linking of the East Perth side of the river with the Victoria Park side, and is located slightly downstream of the Causeway, the existing road crossing between the East Perth and Victoria Park sides across the island also carried over the river by two bridges. Construction began in March 2023, and the two bridges were opened on 22 December 2024. The project was known during construction as the Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges and was later named Boorloo Bridge (singular) after the Noongar name for Perth, Boorloo.
