Set to span 80 metres, Breakfast Creek’s new green bridge will quickly become a favourite amongst keen joggers, footsloggers and cyclists alike. The 67-million-dollar project will feature dedicated pathways for both pedestrians and cyclists (spanning six metres wide) and will join the existing Lores Bonney Riverwalk to Newstead Park. The green bridge will also prove to be a crucial transport link ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics and will help to link the planned Athletes Village at Hamilton to the inner city.
Subject to approvals, Breakfast Creek’s new green bridge is expected to start construction in early 2022, with expected completion by late 2023, whilst Brisbane City Council expects a contract to be awarded by the end of this year. We can envision it now – a relaxing stroll by the waterfront, a quick stop for coffee at MICA Brasserie and a dose of fresh air to kick off another day in paradise.
