The Go Between Bridge

Here is the Go Between Bridge. It's a 4-lane toll bridge linking South Brisbane with Coronation Drive with free cycling and walking paths and it opens today. I'm not a big fan of it. I don't think it will reduce traffic much and I think the design is boring. There. I've said my piece.

    I think it has taken "bland" to new heights! I'm looking at the bridge on my blog on Wednesday.

    I like the perspective of your picture. It's hard not to like the bridge, based on just this image!

    There are 2 paths, one on either side of the main road. One is for cyclists and the other for pedestrians. The one that you can see in the picture is the city-side path which is for pedestrians and the one on the Toowong side is a 3.6 metre bike path.

    I'm sure my fellow cyclist will disagree!
