The Footscray Veloway is a 2.5km elevated bike path, suspended under road bridges along Footscray Road in Docklands/West Melbourne, keeping bikes and pedestrians off the main road.
Suspended from two green pylons by a series of cables. This is already a landmark feature in the Docklands area, the 220-metre long pedestrian and cyclist bridge takes riders and users diagonally over the 8-lane Footscray Road, Docklands.
