Riverwalk Floating Walkway
The Riverwalk Floating Walkway connected the Bicentennial Bikeway to New Farm and Merthyr, following the north side of the Brisbane River.
The floating walkway was particularly interesting because it was completely detached from the riverbank, and took people out into the middle of the river where they could admire Brisbane City from a beautiful and unique perspective.
The floating walkway started at Merthyr Road and finished just before the Story Bridge. This stretch of bikeway still goes through the historic Howard Smith Wharves which are amongst the last of the undeveloped Brisbane riverfront real estate.
The bikeway connected to the bicentennial bikeway which continues to Toowong.
Demolition
During the 2011 floods, the floating riverwalk became submerged and at rist of breaking up. Considering the nature of the structure it was decided on January 12th to demolish the riverwalk to prevent any damage to property downstream.
This never took place, instead the riverwalk broke up of its own accord later that night, and was escorted safely down the Brisbane River by a tug boat.
