Project Overview

Connecting Communities Across the Brisbane River

The Kangaroo Point Green Bridge is Brisbane's premier pedestrian and cycling infrastructure project — an elegant single-mast cable-stay bridge spanning the Brisbane River to connect the City Botanic Gardens on the north bank to Kangaroo Point on the south.

Beenleigh Steel Fabrications played a central role in this landmark project, fabricating and erecting over 2,000 tonnes of structural steel including the main bridge deck, the iconic inclined pylon mast, and the complex cable anchorage systems.

The bridge's design demanded exceptional fabrication precision — the curved deck elements, pylon geometry, and cable anchor plates required meticulous production quality to achieve the architectural form and structural performance required.

  • Over 2,000 tonnes of structural steel fabricated and erected
  • Iconic inclined single pylon mast fabrication
  • Complex curved bridge deck steel structure
  • Cable-stay anchor and connection systems
  • Erection over live waterway — Brisbane River

Our Role on This Project

🌉

Bridge Deck Fabrication

Fabrication of the curved main bridge deck steel structure, including box girder elements and cross-frame assemblies to precise geometric tolerances.

🏗️

Pylon Construction

Fabrication and erection of the iconic inclined single pylon mast — the defining visual element of the bridge and the key structural component of the cable-stay system.

🔗

Cable Anchorage Systems

Precision fabrication of the complex cable stay anchor assemblies and pylon saddles, requiring certified welding and high-strength bolt installation.

The Challenge

Precision Engineering Over a Live Waterway

Erecting structural steel over the Brisbane River presented significant logistical and safety challenges. All crane operations and steel deliveries had to be carefully planned to avoid disruption to river traffic, while working within tidal constraints and environmental protection requirements.

The bridge's elegant curved geometry demanded fabrication tolerances far tighter than conventional building steelwork, with every component requiring detailed dimensional verification before dispatch to site.

Waterway Construction

Safely managed all steel erection operations over the live Brisbane River with zero environmental incidents.

Geometric Precision

Achieved exacting fabrication tolerances for curved deck elements, ensuring perfect geometric alignment of the completed structure.

Community Impact

Delivered a landmark piece of public infrastructure now used by thousands of Brisbane residents and visitors daily.
