Key features
Veloway 1 is a critical and high-quality cycle facility that provides an option for bike riders between the City and Underwood, running adjacent to the Pacific Motorway.
The improvements made to the veloway aim to encourage active healthy lifestyles and to encourage more people to take up this greener mode of transport.
The steady growth in bike riders using the veloway also means there are less instances where cars and bikes need to interact on busy local roads.
Upgrades to the veloway are being made in stages to remove multiple road crossings and to improve safety where on-road crossings still exist.
Future veloway sections include:
- Lower River Terrace, South Brisbane—the outcomes for the planning study are currently under consideration.
