Bikeway closures and detours
Find out about temporary closures and detours to Brisbane bike paths before you plan your ride.
Current and scheduled bikeway closures
Check the bikeway and shared path closures and detours before riding in Brisbane.
The following closures are long-term closures on major bikeways across the city.
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred impacts
We have been working hard to assess, clean and re-open Brisbane’s bikeway and pathway network following severe weather from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Some sections of pathway are closed while safety and repair works are planned and delivered.
All major bikeways are functional and open for use. Some pathways have temporary mesh fencing and other measures in place around erosion and hazards near the path. Please keep out of these areas and take caution while riding and walking through the area.
Over the coming weeks, you will see our crews out cleaning and repairing across our pathway network. If you see our crews, please make sure to follow signage and direction on site for your safety. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete this important work for our community.
Central closures
The Riverwalk between One Eagle (formerly Waterfront Place) and Riparian Plaza is closed to pedestrians and cyclists/scooters until late 2025.
The closure is required to enable construction of Waterfront Brisbane and the new and improved 250-metre Riverwalk.
The adjoining access path adjacent to the Waterfront Brisbane site, running from Eagle Street to the Riverwalk near Riparian Plaza, is closed until late January 2026.
Alternate 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.

The Bicentennial Bikeway ramp at North Quay, between Turbot and Ann streets, is temporarily closed for emergency footpath repairs.
Alternative access is available via the ramp at Herschel Street or the Queens Wharf Road shared zone.
The footpaths are currently closed for inspection to support the Story Bridge restoration project. We apologise for any inconvenience, but safety is our top priority.
We suggest using the nearby Kangaroo Point Bridge while closures are in place.
North closures
Sections of bikeway and footpath along the Kedron Brook Bikeway have been impacted by erosion following ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
The Kedron Brook Bikeway remains functional with some minor diversions and temporary mesh fencing in place around the eroded footpath until rectification work is completed.
South closures
The central pathway in Les Atkinson Park, connecting to Wolff Street, is closed for community safety following erosion from significant rain events. Council is investigating this location to confirm next steps for local connectivity.
Please use the suggested detour route around the outside of the park, along Beenleigh Road and Stones Road or Wolff Street (behind Jim Murdoch Oval) when travelling to and from the train station.
East closures
Council is upgrading the western side of the Minnippi Parklands bikeway/shared pathway to widen and smooth the existing path. Work will take place from 28 April to 5 June 2025 (weather permitting).
The path on the western side will be closed during the works and signs will be in place to refer pathway users to use the eastern pathway.
West closures
The culvert crossing across Moggill Creek was damaged by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred severe weather and must be repaired for community safety. The bridge will remain closed until repair works are completed.
Alternative access between the Kenmore Hills and Brookfield communities on either side of Creekside Street Park is via Boyd Terrace, Rafting Ground Road, Greentrees Avenue and Shadowood Street/Creekside Street.
