We’re refining a concept design for a bikeway on Sylvan Road and Land Street, and nearby intersection improvements in Toowong.

Benefits
  • Improve safety for all road users by improving intersections, and separating walking, riding and driving spaces.
  • Deliver a continuous connection between the Western Freeway Bikeway and the Bicentennial Bikeway.
  • Improve access to local shops, community spaces and public transport.
  • Encourage more people to walk, ride and scoot by making active travel easier and more attractive.

This project will provide a safer, separated cycling connection between the Western Freeway and Bicentennial bikeways. It will also include network improvements and intersection upgrades to make travel safer and easier through the area.

The Toowong intersection improvements and Sylvan Road bikeway design is proudly supported by the Queensland Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grants.

In June 2025, the community shared their travel experiences, including where they saw opportunities and challenges, to help inform the concept designs. We heard strong support for a separated bikeway on Sylvan Road and safety concerns about current vehicle movements.

This feedback, alongside detailed investigations, traffic assessments and safety reviews, helped to shape the 2 concept designs for Sylvan Road and Land Street.

The concept design options on Sylvan Road and Land Street include:

  • a continuous bi-directional bikeway
  • a part uni-directional/part bi-directional bikeway.

Learn more about the concept designs.

The community was invited to provide feedback on these 2 concept designs in May-June 2026. We’re now reviewing that feedback to help refine a preferred concept design for the corridor.

Confirmed design – Milton Road, Croydon Street and Morley Street intersection

We’re making targeted improvements to this intersection to improve safety and traffic flow from Croydon Street onto Milton Road westbound. These intersection improvements are the same in both concept design options.

The design includes adding an extra left turn lane from Croydon Street onto Milton Road, removing the right turn from Morley Street onto Milton Road, installing a zebra crossing in the left turn slip lane from Milton Road onto Croydon Street, and upgrading outbound bus stop 13 on Milton Road at Morley Street.

We’ll start construction at this intersection in the coming months so the overall project runs smoothly and benefits can be delivered sooner.

After we consider your feedback, the technical data and design requirements, we expect to share a final concept design in mid-2026.

Construction will be delivered in stages. Early works at the Milton Road, Croydon Street and Morley Street intersection will begin in mid‑2026. Works for the Sylvan Road bikeway will follow in 2027, subject to detailed design progress.

Timing for works on Land Street will be confirmed after detailed design and budget confirmation.
