About the project
We are installing 21 new lights along the Kedron Brook Bikeway, Everton Park. This work will improve visibility for people walking and riding near Everton Park State High School and Everton Park Link Road.
The project is jointly funded by Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grants program.
Project benefits
The Kedron Brook Bikeway is a popular active travel corridor and installing new lighting is part of our commitment to help keep path users and our community safe.
The bikeway lighting works will improve public safety and visibility for people walking and riding.
Project details
As part of this project, works will involve:
- underground drilling and vacuum excavation to install light pole foundations, conduits and electrical pits
- installation of LED luminaires and poles
- electrical cable works and turfing.
The lighting will be activated once connected to the power supply by Energex in the weeks following installation.
Project timing
Works are expected to start late March 2025 and take approximately 10 weeks to complete, weather and site conditions permitting. These works will generally take place from 7am to 5pm, between Monday to Saturday.
What to expect during construction
Residents and park users near this section of pathway may notice:
- deliveries of machinery, equipment and materials to site
- construction vehicle movements with reversing alarms and flashing lights
- construction noise.
There may be intermittent short-term delays for pathway users while work is underway for each new pole. Where required, traffic control will be in place to manage stop and go traffic flow on the path to ensure the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and workers.
A partial bikeway closure is expected at the South Pine Road underpass in early April for 2-days, please follow the direction of traffic control.
We value your patience and cooperation while we undertake this important work.
