Darlington, Keith Murray footbridge

The Keith Murray footbridge, over City Road, connects the Darlington and Camperdown campuses of the University of Sydney. This view is towards the Wentworth Building in the inner city suburb of Darlington. The original footbridge was built in 1966 but was replaced by this new bridge in 2008.

    Now that is a mix of shapes and shadows that makes me feel hesitant while also drawn in.

    Interesting structure. I am remembering a very plain walkway over City Road that was very wind-blown at times. I wonder if that is why the extra design.

      Gemma, I found some more info which I'll add to the post. The original 'Keith Murray footbridge" was built in 1966 and based on images from Google Street View, I just discovered this new bridge was completed in 2008.

    Funny the entrance to this bridge. But the last bridges in Australia are very well designed. I have to give you that.
