Brisbane City Council is helping keep the city moving by investing in bikeway upgrades throughout the suburbs.
Enhancements to the Rainbow Street bikeway in Sandgate have commenced, beginning with road resurfacing between Curlew Street and Palm Avenue to make suburban travel better.
New green line markings to improve cyclist and pedestrian safety will follow the resurfacing, along with painted buffer zones to separate traffic lanes and bike lanes.
The works are expected to be complete by the end of July and follow a string of similar upgrades across travel corridors in Aspley, Morningside, and Jindalee.
“Our Council is committed to keeping Brisbane moving and that means investing in the roads, mass transit and bikeway infrastructure that a growing city needs,” said Lord Mayor, Adrian Schrinner.
“We’re already delivered Breakfast Creek bridge with the Kangaroo Point bridge to follow and these great new active travel connections will serve our city for generations to come.
“In addition to our bridges, we’re upgrading and extending Brisbane’s suburban bikeway network, which will make it easier and safer for more people to leave the car at home.”
The Hawera Court Bridge (above) in Aspley was replaced in May 2024, enhancing the important local connection between Hawera Crescent Park and Little Cabbage Tree Creek bikeway.
Cycling in Morningside was also made safer this month, with new dedicated bike lanes installed on Junction Road to keep cyclists away from local traffic.
Resurfacing the road along this route will also create a smoother journey for drivers and cyclists navigating busy routes between Lytton Road and Wynnum Road, Council says.
Jindalee residents will see the Kooringal Drive Bridge project delivered later this month, creating a new link between the Centenary Highway Bikeway and Kooringal Drive.
The installation of the bridge will feature a wider path over the creek and connect with the shared paths down Kooringal Drive.
“Brisbane is an active city that embraces all types of travel,” said Chair for Transport, Ryan Murphy.
“From our popular CityCat network to the exciting introduction of the Brisbane Metro later this year, we want people of all ages and abilities to be able to move around the city safely and easily, no matter what mode they choose.
“Our bikeways connect our suburbs and are a great way to travel while being active and healthy.
“We are committed to upgrading our roads, bikeways and walking paths to make getting around Brisbane even better,” he said.
