Construction has begun on the final phase of the Veloway Cycleway Stage D, which will serve cyclists from Annerley, Greenslopes and Buranda.
This is a welcome development for those on the southern side of Brisbane who choose a healthier and more environmentally friendly way of heading to their destination.
The Veloway 1 (V1) is a 3-metre wide cycleway that connects bikers from Brisbane CBD to the Gateway Motorway off-ramp at Eight Mile Plains. The project is divided into five stages, with 3 of them already completed and in use. V1 will provide 17km of safe and dedicated bike lane for cyclists.
Stage D should be completed in late 2017, provided it will not be delayed by unfriendly weather conditions or other construction hiccups. It will run from Lewisham St. in Greenslopes up to O’Keefe St. in Buranda.
Once Stage D is completed, the proposal is to proceed with Stage E, which will run from Birdwood Road in Holland Park West to Gaza Road in Tarragindi. Stage E is currently subject to funding.
