Go Between Bridge...opening mid 2010. 

 

Go Between Bridge (formerly known as Hale Street Link) is a key component in Lord Mayor Campbell Newman’s multi-billion dollar TransApex plan aimed at ensuring Brisbane is a well designed, accessible and connected city for now and into the future.

When constructed, Go Between Bridge will be a four-lane tolled cross-river connection from Coronation Drive and Hale Street in Milton to Montague Road, Merivale and Cordelia streets in South Brisbane. The project also features a two-lane overpass on Coronation Drive taking traffic from the Riverside Expressway, over the Hale Street intersection and onto Coronation Drive towards Toowong. 

The bridge is designed to increase accessibility to and from some of Brisbane’s most popular recreational, cultural, educational and residential precincts including South Bank, West End, Caxton Street and Park Road.

Due for completion by mid 2010, Go Between Bridge is an important part of Council’s plan to address the city’s long-term transport needs and will offer relief to existing bridge crossings, improving accessibility for motorists, public transport, pedestrians and cyclists.
