Love it!

Evokes images of tall ships back in the 1800s when they probably sailed up the Brisbane River to offload their cargo in South Brisbane.

A nod to the white settlers, and naming it Kurilpa acknowledges West End – a double gesture!

The unpleasant ‘cage-like’ structure that the bridge now incorporates over the Riverside Expressway was not necessary. The bridge approaches now resemble a high-security prison walkway. Was the cage structure incorporated to remove the temptation for punters to throw items onto the Riverside Expressway? If this is the case – why not cage the Victoria Bridge too!!

The cage has made an otherwise ‘lightweight’ and ‘transparent’, almost ‘floating’ form of construction look bulky and distasteful. What a shame – so much potential!!!

Looks fantastic, will do a lot for the CBD.

Does any one know how people using the bridge get on to the pedestrian/bike path by the river if they then want to continue walking to Toowong?

I think it is ugly and will always have an unfinished’ look.

I think that it looks great, Brisbane needs more architecturally significant buildings.

This engineering marvel should be named “Crow’s nest Bridge”.
Awful (at least now, under construction), obscures the views and creates an untidy, busy look in the already busy city!

ZZZZZZZ. There were better options than this! Pick up stick style architecture is not elegant
