The Kangaroo Point Green Bridge is an under-construction pedestrian and cyclist bridge across the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia. The bridge will connect the suburb of Kangaroo Point with the Brisbane CBD.[1]
The design concept for the bridge is a single-mast cable stayed structure which will align the Alice Street–Edward Street intersection in the City with Scott Street, Kangaroo Point north from the Thornton Street ferry wharf. Construction was awarded in 2021 to BESIX Group's Australian subsidiary, BESIX Watpac.[2]
The bridge's construction cost was initially expected to be $190 million.[3] In September 2023, it was announced the bridge would cost $299 million.[4] 30 boat moorings on the Brisbane River were removed for the bridge's construction.[5]
