Kangaroo Point Green Bridge – more than a bridge, it’s a destination

Brisbane City Council’s visionary Kangaroo Point Green Bridge was delivered by the BESIX Watpac-led Connect Brisbane team.

The new landmark structure graces Brisbane’s riverscape – an elegant, single-mast cable-stay bridge. Designed to reduce congestion on ferry, bus, and road networks, it connects the City Botanic Gardens to Scott Street at Kangaroo Point.

Its features include dedicated pedestrian and cycle paths and landing points on both sides that have been designed to improve connections between the CBD and eastern suburb communities. Its green credentials comprise solar powered lighting, rain gardens to absorb storm water run-off, native plantings and strategically placed shade covers.

It is the innovative use of viewing platforms and rest nodes that not only afford sweeping views of the meandering river, the ancient cliffs, and the city skyline, but also provide distinctive eating options – yes, you can dine on this bridge. Plans are in place for an above-water restaurant, and a bar and café at the city landing.

Construction was completed in 2024, sustaining 300 jobs during construction.

BESIX Watpac worked with long-time collaborators, BSF, to fabricate and erect this beacon of the river.
