Do you have a brilliant name suggestion for the new Boggo Road Bridge? The Cross River Rail Delivery Authority would like to hear all about it!
The new Boggo Road Bridge is a pedestrian and cycling bridge that will become an “iconic part of the local landscape,” according to Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey. Thus, it needs a good name recall.
“It is only fitting that the community is invited to contribute ideas to name the bridge, which will be a standout piece of infrastructure that crosses over the rail lines to connect communities,” Mr Bailey added.
“The bridge could be named after someone local, who has themselves helped to better connect the community; someone linked to health, science or education; or even a name that honours local First Nations culture.”
Interested locals may send in their naming suggestions online or download the electronic submission form to be emailed to info@crossriverrail.qld.gov.au on or before 11 November 2022.
After the submission period, a panel from various parts of the local community will review all of the suggestions and make the final pick.
Construction of the new Boggo Road Bridge is set to begin soon as excavation and piling works are already ongoing.
“So far, about 33 of 46 piles have been installed to create the foundation for the bridge, which reach up to 30 metres below ground,” Mr Bailey said.
“Next we’ll start to see concreting works and installation of reinforced steel and formwork, to be followed by girders being installed by an 800-tonne-capacity crane, and finally the bridge deck being constructed within 2023.”
