The Neville Bonner Bridge is a pedestrian bridge over the Brisbane River, linking Queen's Wharf in the city center to South Bank Parklands. Grimshaw Architects provided the design concept, Neil Stonell was the designer and WSP did the engineering. Fitzgerald Constructions built it. Construction was under way by March 2020, and the bridge opened on August 28, 2024. It is named for Neville Bonner, the first Indigenous member of the Australian Parliament.
It is a steel cable-stayed bridge 1,050 feet (320 m) long, with a longest span of 476 feet (145 m) and a 246-foot (75 m) mast. Two arches reach 98 feet (30 m) above the river. A walkway hangs from the arches, and a large central observation deck is fully shaded.
The Queensland Government took ownership on completion, and the Destination Brisbane Consortium paid for it, at about $100 million. Cyclists are not permitted.
