==Usage== {{Unreferenced section|date=July 2011}} [[Image:Goodwilla bridgey.jpg|thumb|181px|The Goodwill Bridge connects the South Bank Parklands to Gardens Point.]] Over 40,000 people walk or cycle across the bridge each week and it is clearly established as a major access point between South Bank and the city. Spanning the Brisbane River between the southern end of [[South Bank Parklands]] and the CBD via the [[Queensland University of Technology]] campus, the bridge provides a vital link for pedestrians and cyclists, especially since the closest train station to QUT is in South Bank. The bridge is also popular amongst those who like to maintain fitness, providing a link for a continuous run. [[Traceurs]] also use the bridge not only to cross, but in strength training as a distance to travel in the [[Quadrupedel]] movement (which provides an arm and leg workout), and also refines coordination skills. The bridge innovatively includes several outspanning seating bays which allow for contemplation of the river and relaxation. The architectural design has received mixed reviews; many people see it as a work of art, while others consider it a monstrosity. This is likely due to its unconventional form; for instance, the bridge is entirely asymmetrical, and does not appear to follow any particular scheme with regards to placement of features. Between 2013 and 2022, a coffee cart was in operation. This cafe received a high level of through flow traffic [https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cafe-on-the-Goodwill-Bridge/391806780915605].
