Plans for the ‘missing link’ in Brisbane’s riverwalk will be unveiled on Tuesday, increasing access for the thousands of pedestrians and cyclists that use the route each day.

The Botanic Gardens Riverwalk project would connect the City Reach Boardwalk at the corner of Edward and Alice streets to the Bunya Walk, which runs through the City Botanic Gardens.

The preliminary design for the Alice Street/Edward Street (Botanic Gardens) Riverwalk project.

Currently, a pedestrian-only path connects the existing riverwalk to the Bunya Walk.

The upgrade is part of the Brisbane City Council’s four-year, $100 million path and bikeway program.
