Bikeway work is set to start in the city's north this month as part of the Gateway North Bikeway plan.

Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said the council was committed to making Brisbane a well-connected accessible city, with efficient and sustainable movement of residents.

"Part of our record $120 million investment for bikeways over the next four years is to improve commuter networks outside of the CBD,'' he said.

"The $7.5 million Gateway North Bikeway is a significant project for Brisbane, delivering safe travel options for pedestrians and cyclists across the northern suburbs,'' Cr Quirk said.

"When completed, it will provide a link between Nundah into the existing Moreton Bay Cycleway, south to Nudgee Road along with further cycle networks including the Kedron Brook bikeway.''

A large part of the project will also include the construction of a 138m bridge over the Schulz Canal.

It will also contain a looped access from the new bridge to the eastern side of the Old Gateway Motorway, a shared path that will link to the proposed Brisbane Airport Corporation's cycle network, a shared path that connects to the Moreton Bay Cycleway and a 138m bridge over Schulz Canal.
