Queensland Rail has replaced the Frederick Street pedestrian and cyclist bridge in Alderley, restoring a key connection between Frederick Street and Mina Parade.
The previous bridge was closed to road vehicles in 2012 and to pedestrians and cyclists in 2020 due to structural deterioration concerns. Queensland Rail worked closely with the community, bicycle groups, and the local Council to deliver a bridge that reinstates an important link for the area and meets the needs of pedestrians and cyclists.
This project enhances safety and accessibility, making it easier for locals to cross the Ferny Grove rail corridor.
The 15-metre-long bridge, constructed with 17.5 tonnes of steel, features an improved entry ramp on Frederick Street for better accessibility, as well as lighting, safety fencing, and screening.
The bridge also features a vibrant botanical mural by local artist Ash Taylor, created through Queensland Rail's positive pARTnerships program.
The new Frederick Street bridge was officially opened on 31 August 2023. We thank customers and the local community for their patience during construction.
