Matagarup Bridge

Matagarup Bridge will close weekdays until Friday 23 October, between 9am and 1pm, weather permitting. For your safety, crossing the bridge during these times will not be possible so please cross before or after the closures.

During closures, alternative access to Burswood Peninsula and East Perth will be available via paths on Goongoonganup Bridge (near Graham Farmer Freeway) or the Causeway Bridge. The detours are long so please allow extra travel time.

The closures are needed while we lift steel and glass from the bridge deck into the arches for the new Skyview and zip line platforms. If lifting on the bridge finishes early, we will re-open access for you!

These works are part of our exciting climb and zip line activities project, coming soon. Thank you for your patience while this exciting project is progressed and we get ready to share the new experiences with you.

During bridge deliveries we are currently moving between The Camfield carpark and the centre of Matagarup Bridge to deliver and install materials.

Entry to The Camfield carpark will be closed between 6am and 10:30am for deliveries each day. During deliveries the path and park between the carpark and the bridge, including the sensory playground, will have traffic management in place. Please move through the area with caution and follow signs and traffic management directions. No works or deliveries will occur on Optus Stadium event days.

When open, walkway access on Matagarup Bridge is reduced from nine to three metres using temporary protected walkways. The walkway is the same as those used during arch painting when the bridge was constructed and resemble a tunnel.
