Brisbane City Council (BCC) successfully delivered a commuter bikeway connecting the Brisbane CBD to Wynnum / Manly, with Phase 1 extending from Mowbray Park in East Brisbane to Agnew Street in Norman Park. This stage incorporated upgraded shared and separated paths, intersection improvements for safer cyclist movements, bicycle awareness zones, and a landmark pedestrian and cyclist bridge over Norman Creek to enhance connectivity.

HDR managed the project from concept through to detailed design, beginning with comprehensive data collection and rigorous alignment assessments for the Norman Creek crossing. The final design featured on- and off-road cycleways, a five-span super-T girder bridge with deck units and landings, geotechnical solutions for surcharge and CFA embankments, flood modelling and mitigation strategies, and urban and lighting design, including LED illumination for the bridge.

Throughout the construction phase, HDR provided ongoing design and engineering support, contributing to the successful delivery of a safe, functional, and visually appealing bikeway that enhances active transport options and strengthens connectivity across Brisbane’s inner east. This project demonstrates HDR’s ability to combine technical excellence with innovative solutions, working in close partnership with BCC to create infrastructure that enhances community mobility and sustainability.
