Gateway Bridge Cycleway
The new Gateway Bridge is going to form a significant part of the new Moreton Bay Cycleway.
The Brisbane river currently divides the two halves of the bikeway, and the only crossing is via the Goodwill and Kurilpa bridges in Brisbane City.
The new Gateway Bridge duplication project also has provisions for a 4.5 metre pedestrian lane which will form an important part of the Moreton Bay Cycleway. Additional cycle paths will be built from the existing Kedron Brook Wetlands cycleway in the north to link with the existing bikeway to the Murrarie Recreation Reserve route as well as nearby suburbs in the south. The Gateway project does not include a link to the rest of the Moreton Bay Cycleway to the east.
Opening of the Gateway Bridge
There was an open day for the new bridge on the 16th of May, which gave pedestrians a chance to walk the bridge for the first time. The bridge was initially open only to motor vehicles, but has since been opened to pedestrians and cyclists alike.
Getting to the Gateway Bridge
On the north side, There is already a new off-road bikeway spanning from the north entrance to the bridge which will take you all the way to Nudgee Road, although there are two awkward road crossings where you will need to get off and walk (three coming from the north.)
The only way to get to the bridge by road is via Kingsford Smith Drive . This is a four-lane road with no shoulders which cuts through the industrial region of Eagle Farm, and cycling on this road is not recommended for novice cyclists. The areas of road approaching the bridge are presently undergoing roadworks which will see cycle lanes on its completion.
