opening of Boorloo Bridge, Perth

This Sunday December 22nd the iconic Boorloo Bridge across the Swan River in Perth will open to the public. Our design, which came about in close collaboration with the engineers of WSP’s Perth office, features two cable-stayed bridges, 250 m and 140 m in length that pay tribute to customs, history and culture of the local Noongar people.
