Link copied

We will be a repairing a 140-metre-long section of the City Reach Boardwalk near Admiralty Towers II in Brisbane City.

These works follow successful boardwalk rehabilitation works outside 443 Queen Street and Customs House in 2022 and 2023, and continue our investment in Brisbane’s active outdoor lifestyle.

Works to repair the boardwalk panels include:

  • high-pressure cleaning and algae removal
  • concrete repairs and corrosion protection
  • installing structural support beams and brackets
  • applying protective coatings to concrete and steel elements to extend the structural life.

Access will be maintained while the Story Bridge footpaths remain closed.

Benefits
  • Enhance the life of the boardwalk structure.
  • Ensure the boardwalk remains safe for ongoing public access.

Works will occur from early June 2025 to late 2025, weather, tides and site conditions permitting.

Works will generally be undertaken 4:30am to 8:30pm, Monday to Friday to ensure worker safety and maximise working time during low tides.

The majority of this rehabilitation work will be undertaken from the river via barge, and via partial closures on the boardwalk.

If you live in or travel through the area, you may:

  • see contractors on the boardwalk, construction vehicles in the area, and watercrafts and barges on the river
  • experience partial pathway closures and minor delays when using the boardwalk while contractors are working, with traffic control in place
  • notice temporary carpark closures on nearby streets to facilitate site deliveries
  • notice increased noise during works.

More stages of work will be required on the boardwalk in the future to ensure ongoing safety and stability. We will provide more information about this work as it becomes available.
