HOTA BRIDGE

This bridge spans the Gold Coast’s Nerang River, connecting HOTA to Surfers Paradise via Chevron Island.

The 130-metre green bridge (yes, it’s blue) is the second completed stage of our HOTA Masterplan. We designed and delivered it in partnership with Archipelago and CUSP

It’s for pedestrians and bikes.

The landing at the HOTA end curves out over Evandale Lake. It’s wrapped with a striking three-dimensional façade an artwork called 40 Million Mornings, created by artists Warren Langley and Jess Austin and curated by our partners at Archipelago.

The folded form and golden hue represent the sun on the Nerang River over the past 40 million mornings, using the themes of water and open hands to illustrate the notion of past, present and future.

The bridge façade is lit up at night, becoming a striking beacon reflected in the lake.
