The Evan Walker Bridge is a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the Yarra River between Southbank and the central business district in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Linking Flinders Street station and the Southgate entertainment precinct, the bridge offers views of the Yarra River and Melbourne skyline, making it a popular spot for photography. Constructed in 1992 and formerly known as the Southbank Pedestrian Bridge, in 2015 the Evan Walker Bridge was renamed in honour of the late Evan Walker, a former planning minister who was integral to the development of Melbourne's Southbank precinct.[1]
Between 2012 and 2015 it was known locally as Love Lock Bridge due to thousands of padlocks being attached to the railings.[2]
The bridge is a steel arch structure which is maintained by the City of Melbourne LGA.[3]
