Solar Powered Footbridge

Brisbane recently completed a $63 million foot bridge connecting downtown to land across the Brisbane River. The bridge is home to 84 solar panels and a state-of-the-art LED lighting system. The LED system was designed to be energy-efficient and allows for multiple light-settings.

The footbridge is 470 meters long and employed 1,050 workers. It is estimated that the bridge will be used by more than 36,500 people every week.

The 84 solar panels on teh bridge will generate 100 kWh of electricity everyday, more than enough to supply electricity to the footbridge.
