Brisbane's latest connection is growing

The Queen’s Wharf Neville Bonner pedestrian bridge is taking shape across the Brisbane River as it reaches more than 30% completion.

The new bridge will span 322 metres when finished, linking South Bank with Queen’s Wharf to connect what will be two of Brisbane’s busiest social and entertainment precincts.

Destination Brisbane Consortium Project Director Simon Crooks said the bridge was progressing on track.

“When it’s finished, it will span 322 metres across the Brisbane River and right now, we are more than 100 metres combined at both ends.” – Simon Cook

It’s exciting to see the new bridge growing across the river, knowing it will be a feature piece of the spectacular Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct. The precinct itself is set to transform Brisbane’s CBD, not only as an astounding entertainment destination, but also by providing long-term economic benefits for the entire state.

There are currently 1000 workers on site to help deliver the $3.6 billion project, with that workforce expected to grow by more than 500 workers over the next six months. When finished, the precinct will employ over 8000 workers, welcoming around 1.4 million visitors a year.
