The Story Bridge Adventure Climb has today opened the world’s first accessible bridge climb.

People with accessibility requirements will now be able to climb the iconic bridge in a specially designed wheelchair, leaving from Howard Smith Wharves.

Howard Smith Wharves CEO, Luke Fraser, told Sofie Formica, "Just because you are not as able-bodied or you might just have accessibility challenges, doesn't mean you don't want to do adventure activities."

"And that's what we're doing here today, it's a world first, it's a special, state-of-the-art wheelchair that's been designed to be able to climb up the story bridge right to the very peak."
