Sippy Downs Stringybark Road pedestrian and cycle bridge

This new 3 metre wide Stringybark Road bridge now provides a shared pathway for bicycle riders and pedestrians, separate from vehicles, spanning across the Sunshine Motorway between Buderim and Sippy Downs.

The project was proudly supported by the Queensland Government's cycle network local government grants program and Sunshine Coast Council.

The new stand-alone bridge completes a missing link in the Sunshine Coast’s cycle network by providing a dedicated pedestrian and cycle path to replace the narrow pathway formerly present on the existing vehicle bridge.

It makes it easier and safer for people of all ages and abilities to walk and ride for recreation and wellbeing.

Project scope

In addition to the new bridge, the pathway on the existing vehicle bridge was removed and the bridge reconfigured to provide on-road cycle lanes on both sides.

The new pedestrian and cycle bridge includes architecturally designed decorative elements that complement the surrounding area and provide a safe route over the Sunshine Motorway. At night the bridge is softly lit to ensure safety and clear sight lines for all users.
