Tank Street Footbridge

$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.

Construction is due to commence in 2007, with completion scheduled for mid 2009. Baulderstone Hornibrook Queensland Pty Ltd, has been selected as the preferred tenderer to design and construct the bridge.

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

The bridge will stretch from the North Quay end of Tank Street in the city to Kurilpa Point in South Brisbane, adjacent to the new Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. This is the point where the CBD Reach and the Milton Reach of the river meet.

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.

414 George Street
McDonnell and East Building

Like every major city in the world, Brisbane is undergoing
a transformational change, through the restoration
and regeneration of its central urban area.

People in their thousands are rediscovering the allure of city life. Enjoying the ability to live, work and play in a compact geographic area, with close proximity to transport, restaurants, shopping, entertainment; and the sense of being connected to the beating heart of the fastest growing city in Australia.

A key driver in this resurgence of inner city environments, which of course creates enormous commercial opportunities, is the powerful appeal of precincts that successfully combine the old and the new, by incorporating refurbished older buildings, and retaining long-established landscapes, gardens and parks. Reflecting our human capabilities, traditions and values, these environments authenticate the special feelings we all share when we move about any major city.

In a vision embraced by the Brisbane City Council, the George Street precinct in the heart of the CBD, is rapidly re-emerging as one of Brisbane’s premier commercial and retail destinations. With a significant number of planned projects ranging from the refurbishment of older office buildings to the construction of leading edge commercial and retail high-rise developments, the area is poised to undergo explosive growth.
