Commonwealth Avenue Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Commonwealth Bridge is the major road crossing over Lake Burley Griffin, carrying six lanes of traffic plus a shared foot and cycle path between Canberra’s city centre and the Parliamentary Zone. It is an integral element of the lake’s heritage landscape, with beautiful views across the Molonglo River. The river runs roughly 115 kilometres from the Great Dividing Range through New South Wales into the Australian Capital Territory, where the Scrivener Dam impounds its waters to form Lake Burley Griffin. Historically rich in native fish and culturally important to local Aboriginal peoples, the river continues beyond Canberra to join the Murrumbidgee River as part of the larger Murray–Darling basin.
