Brisbane City Council is building new active transport bridges across Brisbane to make it even easier to get around our city. 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.
More than just a bridge project, the Kangaroo Point Bridge will become a must-visit destination for residents and visitors to our great city, with the final design featuring several unique riverside dining venues. 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 of the Kangaroo Point Bridge include:
- a river crossing between the corner of Alice Street and Edward Street in the CBD, and Scott Street at Kangaroo Point with a length of around 460m
- an elegant single-mast cable stay structure, designed to complement the city skyline and minimise visual impact
- dedicated cycle and pedestrian paths, with a minimum width of 6.8m along the length of the bridge, and a maximum grade of 1:20
- a navigable bridge clearance height of 12.7 metres (as per the Captain Cook Bridge), with provision for a 60m wide navigation channel
- viewing platforms and rest nodes to provide panoramic views of the river and city
- high quality landing points that will connect and activate communities on either side of the Brisbane River
- design features including solar panels, cooling vegetation and shade cover along the length of the bridge
- two new unique dining options, including an above-water restaurant and bar, and riverside cafe, helping to create an iconic destination for Brisbane residents.
The Kangaroo Point Bridge is partially funded by the Australian Government as part of the SEQ City Deal.
Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to be among the first to walk across the bridge prior to it opening in late 2024.
