Glebe Island Bridge
"The Glebe Society has long pushed for the restoration of the old Glebe Island Bridge. Restoration of the bridge is supported by the City of Sydney Council, which describes it as key infrastructure, to the east, and the Inner West Council on the west"
Asa Wahlquist, The Glebe Society
"Architect Andrew Benn has decided to kick start the conversation about a more functional Glebe Island Bridge with a proposal for a higher bridge, one that would not need to open, and that ascends over the heritage bridge"
Asa Wahlquist, The Glebe Society
"Mr Benn’s design has a bike lane on one side with a pedestrian path on the other."

There would be a spiral staircase, which he describes as ‘a bit nautical’ and a ramp down to the old bridge for those who want to investigate the heritage bridge.
Asa Wahlquist, The Glebe Society
"There would be plantings and seating, and on the top an oculus, or an opening, above the control box of the old bridge"
