    Hiking

    The new swivel bridge over to the ClockTower is an elegant and striking structure. Has replaced the old steel bridge and is also much wider.

    Hiking

    The impressive swing bridge connects the Alfred Basin and the Victoria Basin on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The original bridge, designed and built in 1997, connected the two sides of the V&A Waterfront for 22 years. In 2019, it was replaced by the current structure, which, at 4 meters, is twice as wide to accommodate more pedestrian traffic. The bridge is 42 meters long.
