		Lake Burley Griffin is crossed by Commonwealth Avenue Bridge (310 metres), Kings Avenue Bridge (270 metres) and a roadway over Scrivener Dam.

		There are moves to restore the vision of Canberra designer Walter Burley Griffin for the city to meet with the foreshore of the Lake and restore the man made waterway as the city's 'playground'.
		The Griffin Legacy aims to restore the vision that the planning genius had for the national capital almost a century ago, and provide a pathway for the city well into the 21 st century.
		Of the five bridges Griffin proposed to cross the lake, only two have been constructed, frustrating visitors in many areas and causing it to be an under-used and expensive city resource.

		Five weeks after the briefing session with Bert, having completed initial site studies and worked through interim concept designs with their tutors in the studios, the fruits of the students’ labours were on display at the UC School of Architecture, more than two hours’ drive from the sea.
		Some had restaurants up high to capture the lake views and earn money for the club, while others were hanging over the water or even floating on the water.
