Early works are also continuing on the new Vehicle Bridge, despite continued high rain and river levels. Ongoing extensive planning includes minimising construction impacts to heritage elements and the river,  as well as flora and fauna within the project site. The new Vehicle Bridge will be dual lane and built almost three metres higher than the existing Weir Bridge and designed to withstand flooding and recover from inundation. It will improve traffic flow for the growing community and ensure large vehicles such as trucks and buses can safely cross. Following completion, the bridge ownership will transfer to Brisbane City Council.
