Five New Bridges for Brisbane

Chandler ward councillor Adrian Schrinner will be sworn in as Brisbane’s lord mayor today – and is promising a whole new vision for the city.

The objective is a cleaner, greener Brisbane with part of the plan including five new public transport and pedestrian bridges over the Brisbane river.

Expressing his Lord Mayoralty intentions, Schrinner said “I am announcing a plan for five new green bridges to help reduce traffic congestion and dramatically improve Brisbane’s cross-river connectivity.”

“I’m also going to be a Lord Mayor who champions extra parks for Brisbane and works to increase our green space. I plan to spearhead the biggest investment in parks and green space our city has ever seen.”

THE BRIDGES

Kangaroo Point Green Bridge – Pedestrian/cycle bridge. Council is currently undertaking a business case.
Toowong to West End Green Bridge – potential pedestrian/cycle/public transport bridge.
St Lucia to West End Green Bridge – potential pedestrian/cycle/public transport bridge
Breakfast Creek Green Bridge – Pedestrian/cycle bridge connecting Kingsford Smith Drive Riverwalk into the existing Riverwalk network.
Bellbowrie Green Bridge – potential pedestrian/cycle/public transport bridge, with emergency access.

The new bridges will cost at least $550 million, with the council contributing at least two-thirds of the cost. They are scheduled for completion in 2020.

Between now and a target date of 2025, Brisbane city is being transformed by major construction projects worth about $46 Billion. From waterfront precincts, to railways, tunnels, entertainment venues, hotels, runways and more, the list of major infrastructure and construction projects is breathtaking. This will create thousands of specialist jobs during the construction phase, something Capstone is proud to be involved with.
