Bridges for Brisbane Program
Brisbane City Council is building new green bridges across Brisbane which will make it easier to get around our city on foot, by bike or scooter, or by connecting with public transport. It is set to improve the city’s connectivity by providing more travel options and reducing vehicle traffic.
The new bridges will link Kangaroo Point to the Brisbane CBD, Toowong to West End, St Lucia to West End, as well as a new crossing at Breakfast Creek.
Kangaroo Point Bridge
The Kangaroo Point Bridge will link Kangaroo Point to the CBD, making it easier to walk or ride between Kangaroo Point, the eastern suburbs and the CBD. It will ensure Brisbane continues to be a great place to live, work and relax, and will provide the perfect way for residents to explore our river city during the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come. Key features include:
- a river crossing between the corner of Alice Street and Edward Street in the CBD, and Scott Street at Kangaroo with a length of around 460m
- viewing platforms and rest nodes to provide panoramic views of the CBD skyline, Kangaroo Point cliffs, City Botanic Gardens, and the Story Bridge
- green design features including solar panels, cooling vegetation and shade cover along the length of the bridge
- potential new unique dining options, including an above-water restaurant, helping to create an iconic destination for Brisbane residents
