[13] A cafe on the city side of the bridge called Mulga Bill's Kitchen & Bar opened on 14 February 2025.
The bridge spans approximately 460 metres with an elegant single-mast cable-stayed design, minimising visual impact while complementing the city skyline.
[citation needed] Safetylyne’s advanced ladder cable system and Canopy Horizontal Lifelines and Static Lines play a crucial role in protecting maintenance staff responsible for the bridge's ongoing upkeep.
These systems are designed to facilitate safe access while supporting Brisbane City Council’s long-term maintenance objectives, helping to preserve the landmark’s condition and potentially extending its lifespan.
A new signalised crossing at Edward and Alice Streets provides safe, continuous access between the bridge and the city centre.
