The elegant Matagarup Bridge over the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia was built to provide a pedestrian link between the city centre of Perth and the new multipurpose 60,000 seat Optus Stadium. The modern design of the bridge echos a winding motion to reflect all the curves and motion of the river
