Bikeway closures and detours

The Riverwalk between One Eagle (formerly Waterfront Place) and Riparian Plaza is closed to pedestrians and cyclists/scooters until late 2025 while construction of Waterfront Brisbane is underway. The closure is required to enable construction of Waterfront Brisbane and the new and improved 250-metre Riverwalk.

Additionally, from Monday 13 January 2025 until late-January 2026, the adjoining access path adjacent to the Waterfront Brisbane site and running from Eagle Street to the Riverwalk near Riparian Plaza will be closed to enable constructions work to occur. 

Alternate pedestrian and cyclist/scooter detour routes are in place during the closure. These include:

• cyclist detour via Edward Street and Elizabeth Street on the designated cycle paths
• pedestrian detour via Felix Street and Eagle Street
• access to the Stamford Plaza and River Hub facilities via the City Botanic Gardens Riverwalk entrance
• all user access on the northern side of Riparian Plaza or One One One between Eagle Street and the Riverwalk.

For more information:

• visit the Waterfront Brisbane website
• email the Waterfront Brisbane team
• phone 1800 957 850.

To facilitate construction activities for the Kangaroo Point Bridge, pedestrian access will be switched from the temporary upper pathway through C.T. White Park to the original lower riverwalk. 

What to expect during the temporary shared path detour:

• temporary changes to shared path access in C.T. White Park
• a protective overhead gantry over a small section of the pathway with CCTV cameras
• new signs and line markings
• signage to direct pedestrians, cyclists, scooter riders and motorists around the work areas, as required.

• email Connect Brisbane
• phone 1800 864 221 (during business hours).

Council is upgrading the shared path in Fauna Parade Park, Rocklea from Leeds Street to Pegg Road. The path will be widened and banana bars will be removed and replaced with standard bollards. The path will be closed during work from 29 April to end of June (weather permitting). The detour for cyclists/pedestrians will be via Leeds Street, along Goburra Street to Pegg Road. Leeds Playground can still be accessed from Leeds Street or Galah Street. Signage will be posted at the path closures to show the alternative detour route. 

Council is upgrading the pathway lighting between Woff Street, Beenleigh Road, Stones Road and the Sunnybank Train Station. The section of pathway will be closed and lighting will not be operating during the work. Works are scheduled to take place from 7-20 May 2024 (weather permitting). Please use the suggested detour route around the outside of the park (along Beenleigh and Stones Roads) when travelling to and from the train station. 

Council is upgrading a section of the Bulimba Creek Bikeway between Edred Street, Carindale to approximately # 47 Bedivere Street. This upgrade will include lighting, widening of the pathway and reconstruction of the concrete to improve the pathway surface. Work will take place from Monday 25 March to end of April (weather permitting). Signage will be posted at the path closures to show the alternative detour route along Bedivere Street. 

Currently, Council is not aware of plans for a replacement bridge by Transport and Main Roads (TMR), QR or Cross River Rail. Council is seeking to negotiate an integrated permanent solution as the pedestrian bridge provides an important connection for the local community and Victoria Park / Barrambin.

For alternative access between Victoria Park / Barrambin and Spring Hill, please use the Victoria Park land bridge.  

If you have been impacted by the removal of this pedestrian bridge and would like to provide feedback, please contact the Cross River Rail project team via their website or call 1800 010 875.
