Harris HMC have begun works on the Batman Avenue Bridge – a new pedestrian gateway from the CBD to Melbourne Park,  Melbourne’s world-class sporting precinct to turn the first sod on the project set to shave travel time from Flinders Street Station to Birrarung Marr to under 10 minutes.

The bridge will also provide a safer route for fans and stop crowds crossing Batman Avenue at road level, so that the thousands of spectators at our long list of events can arrive and return home safely.

The bridge will land in the heart of Melbourne Park – the home of the Australian Open – and provide direct access to Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena and Garden Square.

​

It’s part of the Andrews Labor Government’s $338 million Melbourne Park Stage 2 redevelopment, which will ensure that this Australian icon retains its status as one of the world’s leading sport and entertainment venues.

Watertite installed membranes to Podium and ramp over carpark, along with retaining wall tanking.

The project is due to be completed December 2016.
