Bikeway closures and detours

Following the partial removal of the Drift Restaurant by the Queensland Government, the final section of the bikeway between Graham Street and Lang Parade has reopened as a temporary, minimum three-metre-wide, shared zone for people walking and riding.

Works are still underway by the Queensland Government to remove the remaining portion of the Drift Restaurant.

This section (between Graham Street and Lang Parade) will remain as a temporary shared zone until the Drift Restaurant is completely removed, debris cleaned, and assessments completed on the remaining section of pathway nearest to the river.

As this is now a temporary shared zone, people walking and riding are reminded to take care and share the pathway safely. Signage will be in place at the shared zone to remind people to slow down when travelling along this section of the bikeway.

People walking are also able to use the existing footpath on the western side of Coronation Drive, which can be accessed via the ramps at Graham Street or Lang Parade.

The Bicentennial Bikeway has re-opened between the Regatta Ferry Terminal and Victoria Bridge, and 1 William Street and the Goodwill Bridge. It remains temporarily closed for cleaning by Queen’s Wharf Brisbane between 1 William Street and the Victoria Bridge. Some sections may require more minor cleaning, so please follow traffic control and signage on site.

The Bicentennial Bikeway is currently reduced to a three-metre wide shared pathway south of the North Quay ferry terminal for approximately 200 metres to enable construction work for the Queen's Wharf Brisbane. 

The Bicentennial Bikeway will remain open during this time, but intermittent stop-and-go traffic control will be in place Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm for construction work. This will be in place until mid-2022.

Council is undertaking rehabilitation works to the City Reach Boardwalk in Brisbane City to enhance the service life of the structure.

Construction works have begun. The boardwalk, including the pedestrian and bike path, is closed in front of 443 Queen Street, Brisbane City. A detour is in place until each March 2023.

Visit the City Reach boardwalk rehabilitation page to find out more about this project and view the detour map.

To facilitate construction activities for the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, temporary access changes will occur to the shared path in C.T. White Park from Wednesday 22 June 2022, weather permitting.

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
• new shared zone at the southern end of Hamilton Street for vehicles, pedestrians and active transport users with a 10km/h speed limit.
• traffic control and signage to direct pedestrians, cyclists, scooter riders and motorists around the work areas, as required.

The bikeway behind Macquarie Street, Teneriffe is being upgraded. This work is stage 2 of this project and will take place from the pathway adjacent to 27 Vernon Terrace to the access path adjacent to 75 Macquarie Street from Monday 20 February until Friday 31 March 2023, weather permitting.

Signs and detours will be in place to help pedestrians and cyclists navigate the temporary route changes.

The Kedron Brook Bikeway remains closed in sections, including:

• the crossing near Wolverhampton Street, Stafford and Leyton Street, Grange
• in Corbett Park near Uxbridge Street
• at Walter Bourke Park bridge, Lutwyche/Gordon Park.

Restoration works - Royal Parade crossing

Initial restoration works at the Kedron Brook Bikeway crossing between Royal Parade and Stafford City Shopping Centre are now complete and the crossing reopened on Friday 10 June 2022.

Given the extent and complexity of damage at this location we will be returning in the coming months to complete additional landscaping around the creek crossing. Council will continue to investigate improvement opportunities at this location into the future.

Initial works commenced in early April 2022 and included:

• detailed assessments and repair of the existing bridge structure
•  reinstatement of the original flow of the creek
• reconstruction of the connecting pathways
• final inspection of the pedestrian bridge and nearby pathways.

We have previously safely re-opened the pathway connecting Shand Street and Stafford City Shopping Centre. The creek crossing and all remaining works to reconstruct connecting pathways and make the area safe have been completed and the crossing has been reopened restoring this critical link.

Information about further works in this location will be released in coming months.

The shared path along Shand Street is currently closed between Sheehy Street and the bridge over the Kedron Brook, following a landslip that occurred during the 2022 severe weather event.

A detour is in place through Grinstead Park on the other side of Shand Street. For your safety, please follow detour signage.

Initial inspections by our geotechnical experts have revealed that to reopen the footpath, more than simple clean up works are required.

We need to complete the design and construction of an engineered stabilisation solution before the footpath can be reopened.

Construction is expected to start from early 2023. We appreciate the community’s patience and their continued use of the detour while the footpath remains closed.

The bridge connecting the Centenary Highway Bikeway and Kooringal Drive was critically damaged by the flood event and will remain closed until restoration works can be completed.

Alternate routes are available on nearby streets, including Sinnamon Drive and Yallambee Road. 

A section of the Bicentennial Bikeway at Toowong will become a shared path with pedestrians while one walkway, connecting Coronation Drive to the Regatta ferry terminal, is closed for repair from Monday 25 July 2022.

This remaining section of work follows re-decking of the jetty ramp and lookout platform completed in June 2022.

Cyclists must slow down when approaching the project area from either direction for the safety of all path users.

Pedestrians and cyclists are advised to follow all signage and directions and directions on site.

The repairs are anticipated to be completed by late September 2022, weather and construction conditions permitting. Find out more about the project.
