Webb Bridge

Webb Bridge is a pedestrian and cycle bridge spanning the Yarra River in Docklands, Melbourne, Victoria. It connects Docklands on the north bank to Yarra's Edge and South Wharf on the south bank. Notable for its distinctive design incorporating a retained section of the former Webb Dock Rail Bridge, it was redesigned by Denton Corker Marshall with artist Robert Owen and opened in 2003 as a public art and urban renewal landmark.

Visitors can expect a flat, wide pedestrian and cycle bridge with a distinctive sculptural design featuring large hoop-like steel arches and patterned surfaces. The bridge offers open views of the Yarra River, Melbourne city skyline, Bolte Bridge and marina precincts. The setting is urban waterfront with paved approaches, lighting, and seating areas nearby. Visitors can walk or cycle across, stop for photography, and connect to Docklands promenades and Yarra's Edge waterfront paths.

The bridge incorporates a section of the former Webb Dock Rail Bridge, part of the Webb Dock railway line built in the 1980s to serve Webb Dock. After the rail line closed in the 1990s during Docklands redevelopment, the remaining bridge structure was retained and converted. The new Webb Bridge opened in 2003 as part of the Docklands urban renewal project, preserving industrial heritage while creating a new pedestrian link.

Recognized as a landmark of Docklands urban renewal and contemporary public art in Melbourne. The collaboration between architects Denton Corker Marshall and artist Robert Owen created an award-winning design that integrates infrastructure, art and heritage interpretation, contributing to the cultural identity of the Docklands waterfront precinct.
