Site establishment activities and initial works began mid-June 2022, including:

- converting Newstead Avenue and Newstead Terrace (to Halford Street) to one way vehicle traffic
- relocation of the Newstead Park inbound bus stop and relocation and amalgamation of the Newstead Park outbound bus stop.
Major works, including piling and construction of the Lores Bonney Riverwalk extension, will commence in August 2022, with the Breakfast Creek Green Bridge expected to open to the public in early 2024.

Working in the river
Georgiou Brady Joint Venture will establish a marine construction zone to provide a safe working environment for construction of the bridge. From August 2022, marine barges will facilitate construction activities in the Brisbane River and Breakfast Creek.
During construction, Breakfast Creek will remain open for vessel access with an eight-metre wide navigational channel maintained, however some short-term closures may be required.
Out-of-hours works may be required due to tide levels on Breakfast Creek and the Brisbane River, and ambient temperature requirements for concrete pours and for works requiring lane closures on surrounding roads.
