Local design/engineering consultants, Cox Rayner/Arup, form part of the company’s design team.

Construction is due to commence in 2007, with completion scheduled for mid 2009.

The proposed $63.3 million Tank Street Bridge will be a pedestrian and cycle bridge in Brisbane’s inner city, linking the city centre and South Brisbane and completing a pedestrian and cycle loop linking the city and South Bank via the Goodwill Bridge.

With 1,500 people moving into South East Queensland each week, Brisbane is now at the centre of the fastest growing urban region in Australia. As the city continues to grow and inner city residential developments flourish, the demand for improved pedestrian and cycle pathways will grow.

The proposed Tank Street Bridge will provide an environmentally-friendly and enjoyable walking and cycling pathway to the city from South Brisbane.

Currently around 53,000 people per week cross the Goodwill Bridge and it is expected that similar numbers will cross the Tank Street Bridge per week.
