Sunday 15^th December marks the opening of the new Kangaroo Point Bridge!

What an incredible addition to Brisbane’s growing infrastructure. This transformative project enhances connectivity across our stunning river city, making it easier than ever to walk, cycle, or scoot between Kangaroo Point, the eastern suburbs, and the CBD.

Murcia Residences, just 2km away, benefits directly from this new connection, ensuring unparalleled access to the CBD and adding even more convenience to your lifestyle. This initiative not only serves our community and visitors but also reinforces Brisbane’s reputation as a vibrant, accessible, and highly liveable city.

A fantastic step forward for our beautiful river city!

About the project

The Kangaroo Point Bridge will provide a world-class landmark linking the city centre and Kangaroo Point peninsulas. The bridge will celebrate our river city and sub-tropical identity and provide a convenient, safe and accessible connection for all bridge users.

Key features of Connect Brisbane's design for the Kangaroo Point Bridge include:

a river crossing between the corner of Alice Street and Edward Street in the CBD, and Scott Street at Kangaroo Point with a length of around 460m
an elegant single-mast cable stay structure, designed to complement the city skyline and minimise visual impact
dedicated cycle and pedestrian paths, with a minimum width of 6.8m along the length of the bridge, and a maximum grade of 1:20
a navigable bridge clearance height of 12.7 metres (as per the Captain Cook Bridge), with provision for a 60m wide navigation channel
viewing platforms and rest nodes to provide panoramic views of the river and city
high quality landing points that will connect and activate communities on either side of the Brisbane River
design features including solar panels, cooling vegetation and shade cover along the length of the bridge
two new unique dining options, including an above-water restaurant and bar, and riverside cafe, helping to create an iconic destination for Brisbane residents.

Unique riverside dining venues

In addition to the new river crossing, the final design of the Kangaroo Point Bridge features two unique riverside dinning options, including an above-water restaurant and bar on the bridge, and a new riverside café at the city landing.
