Centenary Bridge Upgrade

The Centenary Bridge Upgrade is upgrading the Brisbane River crossing from 4 to 6 lanes. The new 3-lane northbound bridge opened to traffic in late 2025, and work is continuing to rehabilitate the existing bridge to provide 3 southbound lanes.

The upgrade will ensure the existing bridge structure meets current safety and structural design requirements and will provide longer and safer entry and exit ramps.

It also includes upgrades to active transport connections, improving local connectivity for pedestrians and bicycle riders.

The additional lanes across the bridges will enable further upgrades to the motorway in the future as part of the Centenary Motorway Upgrade project.

The Centenary Motorway Upgrade project will provide extra capacity for greater efficiency and travel-time reliability between Brisbane's CBD and the western suburbs, between local destinations, and along the entire Centenary Motorway.

Benefits

Centenary Bridge Upgrade

Flythrough aerial video depicting the planned changes for the Centenary Bridge Upgrade. Video starts by heading north on the Centenary Motorway and over the Centenary Bridge towards Kenmore, and highlights the new 3-lane northbound bridge and rehabilitated existing bridge to become a 3-lane southbound bridge. The video then swings around and shows heading south over the bridge. The rehabilitated southbound bridge includes active transport facilities, and links to Amazons Park. The video then shows a 5m wide active transport shared path connecting from the bridge, through Amazons Park and under the Centenary Bridge.
