Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges Project Update

The boomerang-shaped pylon has been installed on the Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges, marking the final milestone in the structural construction phase.

This pylon's design is inspired by the koylie, a curved hunting tool used by Whadjuk warriors, symbolising their spirit and heritage.

Next Steps to Bridge Completion

Although the bridges appear nearly finished, there are still several tasks to complete before they can safely open to the public by the end of the year:

1. Cable Installation - each cable is installed using a crane, connecting the pylons to the bridges. The shortest cable is 17 meters long, while the longest reaches 94 meters.
2. Bridge Lighting - lighting will be installed, including cable feature lighting, handrail downlights, and projector lights from the pylons and bridge deck.
3. Bridge Features - seating will be installed at rest points along the bridges, along with wayfinding and interpretive signage.
4. Bridge Deck- the modules are welded together once installed, with approximately 30km of linear weld length connecting all 16 bridge modules. The flat upper deck surface will be coated to provide extra grip and will feature line markings to distinguish between pedestrian paths and routes for wheeled transport like bikes and scooters.

Other Causeway Construction Updates

McCallum Park: Landscaping is progressing well with the construction of footpaths, lighting, seating, and tree planting.

Heirisson Island (Matagarup): Landscaping continues with the construction of footpaths, kerbing, and asphalt.

Point Fraser: Once the bridge module installation is complete, stay cables will be installed to connect the bridge deck to the boomerang pylon. Afterward, the crane and crane pad will be removed, and landscaping will begin.
