A NEW mural has been completed on the side of Karrum Karrum Bridge at Carrum.
The mural was commissioned as part of level crossing removal works at Station Street, Eel Race Road, and Mascot Avenue.
Street artist Matt Adnate finished work on the mural last month. He is also behind large scale murals on silos at Sheep Hills and a 20 storey piece on a public housing tower in Collingwood.
The work in Carrum features a child’s face and a dolphin. Level Crossing Removal program director, Adam Maguire, said “we’re pleased to have been able to secure this respected artist to create a work that pays respect to the Traditional Owners of the land and is a fitting finish to this once-in-a-generation project.”
Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “this beautiful work of art by a home-grown, internationally-known artist is a cultural investment in our local area and I know it will be enjoyed by residents and visitors for many years to come. The mural is the icing on the cake of our works at Carrum to create a new road bridge over the Patterson River, remove three dangerous and congested level crossings, build a premium Carrum Station, and create the new Carrum Promenade.”
