Eleanor Schonell Bridge

The Eleanor Schonell Bridge is a public and active transport-only bridge that crosses over the Brisbane River. It connects the suburbs of St Lucia and Dutton Park.

It was built in 2006 to improve accessibility to the University of Queensland's St Lucia campus as the campus is surrounded by the Brisbane River on three sides. Prior to the bridge's construction the nearest bridges were at Indooroopilly to the west or Brisbane City to the east.

Construction
The Eleanor Schonell Bridge is 16.4 metres wide with a two-lane bus corridor, a cyclist corridor and a pedestrian corridor. The bridge has a total length of 390 metres when including the approaching roads on either side of the river. During Brisbane River's high tide, the bridge is 11 metres above the water.

There were sustainable elements incorporated such as solar panels for generating pedestrian lighting and storm water drainage into the ground.
