Tanderrum Bridge links Birrarung Marr with the Melbourne Park sports precinct creating a major arrival address. The design is slender and elegant, a flat steel girder structure that tapers at its edges to span across Batman Avenue. The undercroft follows the slope of the existing landscape, eliminating low forming spaces and settles the bridge into the landscape. The lightweight filigree character of the structure provides framework for a journey which branches into a connective path, providing views toward the Yarra River, Birrarung Marr and the city.
