Sturt River Linear Park Pedestrian Bridge

Sturt River Linear Park - NatureTREAD™

Sturt River Linear Park in the Coromandel Valley, South Australia is part of a 30 year masterplan for recreational activity for Greater Adelaide. The third stage was recently completed, allowing for easy and safe commute for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrian use. The future stage of this masterplan will see a continuous trail link all the way to the Patawalonga Basin in Glenelg North. Bridges were constructed at river crossings to provide the community with the opportunity to enjoy the views of the wildlife and rock foundations along the river.

Treadwell was engaged to design, engineer and supply three bridges, complete with collapsible handrail system for major flood events. This also included an additional boardwalk to complement one of these bridges.

Project Challenges

  • The bridges are designed withstand 1:100 year flood events.
  • The structure would be permanently exposed to the outdoor environment.
  • The structure had to meet specific compliance codes.
