An extension to the Moreton Bay Cycleway has opened in Queensland, improving access to Brisbane Airport.
Â
The new 600-metre shared path, which stretches between Schneider Road and Viola Place, closes a key gap in the cycleway network and makes it safer to ride to or through the airport.
Â
It links the Gateway Bridge bikeway to the Kedron Brook bikeway.
Â
Riders can connect to Lamington Avenue and through to Lores Bonney Riverwalk via Nudgee Road.
Â
The path, which varies in width from 2.5 to 3 metres, features solar lighting, fencing, line marking and wayfinding signage. The project has also seen the replacement of the weir which crosses a waterway.Â
Â
Approximately 25,000 people travel to the airport each day for work, with that number expected to grow by 20,000 in the next two decades.
Â
The project was jointly funded by Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program.
