About this video

This video shows timelapse footage of the construction of William Cooper Bridge, a new footbridge at Footscray station that opened in April 2010.

The new footbridge provides commuters with:

• a fully accessible six metre wide footbridge, compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act, to improve pedestrian flow and cater for increased pedestrian traffic
• an architecturally designed canopy over the bridge and stairs to provide weather protection
• stairs and lift access on the footbridge to provide better connections from/to central Footscray, station platforms and Maribyrnong River arts precinct
• improved lighting and CCTV security cameras
