Spanning the river at Fremantle's eastern gateway, the bridge has quickly become a landmark in its own right. Its distinctive design offers expansive views across the water, Fremantle Harbour, passing vessels and the surrounding cityscape.
The bridge plays an important role in reconnecting communities on both sides of the river, improving access to Fremantle's beaches, attractions, dining precincts and event spaces. Whether you're arriving by bike, taking a riverside walk or exploring the city from a new perspective, the Walyalup Bridge offers a fresh way to experience Fremantle and the Swan River.
Heritage and culture have been embedded within the design of the new crossing, with storytelling incorporated through architecture and urban landscape design, public art, feature lighting, signage and wayfinding. Explore the works via the Main Roads fact sheets here.
Pair your visit with a stroll along the river foreshore, a visit to 'Containbow', a ride through North Fremantle, or a day exploring downtown Fremantle.
Don't forget to include a sunset visit to Walyalup Bridge so you can experience the innovative and unique program of architectural and feature lighting.
