Construction on two green bridges linking Brisbane s inner-city suburbs is slated to begin this year, but the location of three other planned bridges remains unclear.
Key points:
Two bridges begin construction this year and two others are out for consultation
A planned bridge at Bellbowrie has been scrapped
In 2019, Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner made a $550 million pledge to build five new green bridges, catering for pedestrians and cyclists, to reduce vehicle traffic and improve the city s connectivity.

Boundary Street households are worried about an option to run a green bridge between St Lucia and West End. Jim Paltoglou (left), his wife Des and son Aleko face losing their home if Option C goes ahead.
