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.

Also... try to think of names for the bridge like "The Goma bridge" or "South to Central bridge"

I really like this bridge. It is going to be good to have a variety of bridge styles in Brisbanes CBD. They're all vastly different.

Well this is def the most arty bridge in Brisbane, which is a good thing.

Really looking forward to this going up, the whole north quarter is going to be kickass in about five years, from this to the new Supreme Court to Northbank etc.

Location is perfect to connect the NorthQuarter to Goma.
