Springwood Road Shared Pathway
- Project typeActive transport (walking and bike riding)
Latest update
This project has progressed to the detailed design phase.
Geotechnical investigations have been completed.
Vacuum digging to locate underground services/utilities (potholing) on Springwood Road and Kinloch Road, from Thursday 13 March 2025.
There will be minimal traffic impacts with stop/go traffic control as required.
We will keep the community updated as the project progresses.
Project overview
We are designing a new, wider shared path on Springwood Road, from the Springwood Reservoir to Daisy Hill Road.
We are shaping a greener, healthier city with a planned new link in our shared pathway network. Off-road paths make it easier, safer and more desirable to walk, ride bikes, and use active transport.
This project is being delivered under Council's Cycleway Infrastructure Program and is proudly supported by the Queensland Government's Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program.
Project features
The design includes:
- a new, wider shared path for pedestrians and bike riders to replace the existing aging footpath
- new raised priority crossings
- upgrading kerb ramps to allow easier access for bicycles, prams and other mobility devices
- new low-speed entry ramps
- pavement markings and wayfinding signage
- service relocations.
Project benefits
This shared path design will:
- allow safer active travel opportunities
- encourage mode of transport choice
- provide more space for pedestrians, bike riders and other path users
- create an inclusive, accessible facility
- enhance local connectivity.
Project timings
Survey works are being carried out to mid-2024 as part of the early design phase, with detailed design expected in 2025. Additional funding is needed before the project can be scheduled for construction.
We will update the community as the project progresses.
Project impacts
Survey work is low impact. Surveyors will be walking on some properties to take measurements. We will be in touch with relevant property owners.
