February 2024
Brisbane City Council is delivering the Main Street and Deakin Street connection as part of the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge to enhance safe walking and riding connections between Kangaroo Point and the CBD. Works to create the new Story Bridge underpass and new pathways on Deakin Street will continue in February 2024.
The Main Street and Deakin connection will improve walking and riding travel times and travel reliability by providing a direct route from Deakin Street and the eastern suburbs to the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge.

Construction activities for the Main Street and Deakin Street connection in February 2024 will include:
- ongoing construction of the new pedestrian and bike path from the Thornton Street tunnel along Deakin Street to the new Story Bridge underpass
- works to complete the new kerb and channel on Deakin Street
- concrete pours for the new underpass flooring
- installing street lighting and electrical infrastructure on Main Street and in the Story Bridge underpass
- constructing the new connection from Main Street to the Story Bridge underpass.
