Crossings Between The Centenary Bridge and Wivenhoe Dam
In addition to the existing bridges between Centenary Bridge and Wivenhoe Dam a number of others have been proposed.
The Goodna Bypass is designed to relieve congestion on the Ipswich Motorway and will have four new bridges over the river (but no access to or from the north-western suburbs). Land acquisitions were underway in 2010 to create the future transport corridor. As of 2010, there is no date or funding provided to commence the construction of the Goodna Bypass.
The Western Bypass would have included a crossing of the river but has been cancelled.
The existing crossings on this section of the river are listed below (note: coordinates are derived from Google Earth).

Famous quotes containing the words bridge and/or dam:
