Discover Brisbane’s latest infrastructure marvel, the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, enhancing connectivity and offering a new destination for residents and visitors alike.

Brisbane has unveiled the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, a $288 million project designed to seamlessly connect Kangaroo Point to the central business district (CBD). Spanning 460 meters, this bridge is exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, aiming to reduce vehicular traffic by removing up to 84,000 cars from the roads annually.

The bridge’s architectural highlight is its 95-meter-high single-mast structure, complemented by panoramic viewing platforms that offer stunning vistas of the Brisbane River and city skyline. Sustainability is at the forefront of its design, with features that minimize environmental impact.

While the bridge has been lauded for its potential to transform urban mobility and become a major attraction, especially in the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, some concerns have been raised. Yacht owners have expressed apprehension regarding the bridge’s clearance, which may affect moorings at the City Botanic Gardens.

Despite construction delays caused by the 2022 floods, the project was completed within the revised timeline. Future plans include the addition of dining establishments on the bridge, further enhancing its appeal as a destination in itself.

The Kangaroo Point Green Bridge stands as a testament to Brisbane’s commitment to sustainable urban development and is poised to become a cherished landmark for both locals and visitors.
