Brisbane’s Neville Bonner bridge keeps growing

Another milestone has been reached on the Queen’s Wharf Neville Bonner pedestrian bridge, with three major infrastructure elements being installed last week.

The installations include two arch segments, both measuring 60 metres long and weighing in at 90 tonnes each, as well as the crowning arch, which will sit 30 metres above the river.

Destination Brisbane Consortium Project Director Simon Crooks said this week’s installation brought together months of planning between the bridge contractor and the Consortium.

“We are expecting around 10,000 people to cross this bridge a day when it opens in 2023 with the main integrated resort development, connecting two great Brisbane precincts.” - Destination Brisbane Consortium Project Director Simon Crooks

The Neville Bonner pedestrian bridge will be a focal icon for the $3.6 billion Queens Wharf development. It will add to Brisbane’s collection of unique bridges and enable greater connectivity across the city, joining what will be two of Brisbane’s busiest social and entertainment precincts, South Bank and the Queen’s Wharf.

The entire Queen’s Wharf Brisbane development now has more than 1300 workers onsite every day. The workforce is growing at a steady pace and is expected to peak with up to 2000 workers onsite daily next year.

Once complete, the precinct will employ over 8000 workers as it welcomes around 1.4 million visitors a year.
