This pergola is on the Lilyfield Road Footbridge in the inner west suburb of Lilyfield. It once carried cars over Hawthorne Canal where it connects to the Paramatta River. The bridge was built in 1965, linking Lilyfield Road to Dobroyd Parade, but was replaced by a new canal crossing as part of the City West Link in 2000. This bridge was converted to a greenway with a path for pedestrians and a track for cyclists on either side.

The design is way better than Melbourne counterparts
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty. A path for pedestrians AND a track for cyclists? That's great. Too many cyclists think the own the paths around here! Pedestrians have to watch their backs.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have separate paths for cyclists/skaters/delivery people using electric scooters and pedestrians like me. It's a great idea and I love that blue sky.
ReplyDeleteAn attractive design and I love it when old roads or railways are converted to trails.
