The City of Marion has announced the two new Coastal Walkway Bridges at Grey Gully and Kurnabinna have completed construction, with the grand opening of both bridges to be held on August 3rd at Fryer Street Reserve.
Premier Peter Malinauskas and City of Marion Mayor Kris Hanna will attend the grand opening ceremony to officially cut the ribbon at the Grey Gully Bridge from 9:30am, marking the official opening of these impressive additions to SA’s coastline. There will be a community event along the Coastal Walkway that will kick off at 10am from Grey Road to Fryer Street, with free coffee from local vendors, a barbecue, and fun activities for all.
The City of Marion posted to their Instagram saying: “The wait is over! We are thrilled to invite you to the official opening of our new Coastal Walkway Bridges!
“Join us for a day of celebration and breathtaking views as we officially cut the ribbon on these stunning additions to our beautiful coastline.
“Bring your family and friends for a stroll along the walkway. Enjoy free coffee from local coffee vans, a free barbecue, and fun activities for all ages!”
While the final touches are currently being added to connect surrounding paths, the council is planning an event in July to officially re-open the walkway to the community.
Back in April, the council revealed construction was underway on the first suspension bridge at Grey Gully, offering walkers a thrilling new way to explore SA’s coastal terrain. Now, with the addition of both of these new bridges, there’s even more to discover and enjoy in Hallett Cove.
The multi-million dollar, two-year project has been a collaborative effort between the City of Marion and the State Government. The boardwalk extension from Heron Way Reserve to the Field River mouth has been carefully designed to improve accessibility and blend with the natural surroundings.
The opening event will depend on the weather and is subject to change, so keep an eye on the City of Marion’s socials for any updates. For now, mark your calendars for August 3rd!
