Batman Avenue Bridge To Improve Access To Melbourne & Olympic Parks

Work has begun on the Batman Avenue Bridge -- a new pedestrian gateway from Melbourne’s CBD to sports and entertainment precinct Melbourne & Olympic Parks. The bridge -- part of the A$338M ($237.5M) Melbourne Park "Stage Two" redevelopment -- will provide an express route to the precinct from the CBD, shaving travel time from Flinders Street Station to Melbourne Park to less than 10 minutes. The bridge’s landing point is the heart of Melbourne Park, with direct access to Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena and Garden Square. Construction of the bridge is expected to be finished in time for the 2017 Australian Open (Melbourne Olympic Parks).
