Tank Street Bridge or Kurilpa Bridge

Tank Street Bridge is getting a lot of attention as the first large scale tensegrity bridge. The bridge is currently under construction in Brisbane’s inner city. Brisbane is one of today’s fastest growing urban centers in Australia and the bridge is part of the City Centre Master Plan 2006 anticipating an increasing demand for pedestrian areas. It will link the city center to South Brisbane: from Tank Street to Kurilpa Park traversing Brisbane’s navigable river. The construction of the Tank Street Bridge is expected to be completed by September 2009 so that it can be part of Queensland’s 150th year anniversary celebrations.
