Sundale Bridge
Sundale Bridge
Sundale Bridge spans the Nerang River on the Gold Coast, linking the suburbs of Southport and Main Beach in South East Queensland. Officially called the Gold Coast Bridge, it takes its popular name from the former Sundale Shopping Centre nearby.
First opened in 1966 to replace the earlier Jubilee Bridge, the structure comprises four separate decks and pier sections built in stages. It carries the Gold Coast Highway, the G:link light rail, pedestrians, and cyclists.
The bridge serves as a practical access point for river users. A two-lane boat ramp on the Main Beach side at Waterways Drive provides direct access to both the Broadwater and the Nerang River.
The bridge is also a key node on the City of Gold Coast's Surfers Riverwalk coastal pathway, which connects through to Macintosh Island, Budd's Beach, and Cascade Gardens.
A fishing platform on Barney Street, Southport sits close to the bridge's highway crossing.
