Tonkin Gap Project – Redcliffe Bridge

Updated 6 November

We have been advised by Main Roads that they have started works under Redcliffe Bridge for the revamped community space. The team has started construction of the pump track and mountain bike skills area, and this will continue throughout October. You can find out more information and view the design by visiting the Tonkin Gap Project Page and on the Main Roads website.

Redcliffe Bridge shared path closure and detour

As a part of the underbridge activation works, the path is being rebuilt on the southern side of the river that runs from east to west. The existing path will be closed from late-October for approximately two months. Path users will be detoured via Victoria Street pedestrian bridge and Great Eastern Highway underpass if they need to cross under the bridge. Keep an eye on the website for specific dates and click here to see the detour map.

PSP from Great Eastern Highway underpass to Redcliffe Bridge 

The upgraded principal shared path (PSP) that connects Great Eastern Highway underpass and Redcliffe Bridge is now expected to open in mid-October. This will happen ahead of the closure of the path under the bridge on the southern side of the river. Keep an eye on the Tonkin Gap Project website for dates and an updated PSP project map.
