Brisbane City Council has officially opened the much awaited Kingsford Smith Drive River Walk. Locals can now enjoy walking, running, or cycling at the River Walk whilst taking in the beautiful view.
The 1.2-kilometre project is a part of the Kingsford Smith Drive upgrade providing a new landmark for Brisbane. The Kingsford Smith Drive River Walk stretches from Bretts Wharf in the east to Cameron Rocks Reserve in the west.

Kingsford Smith Drive Upgrade
The Kingsford Smith Drive offers a major gateway to the city for tourists, visitors, and residents. More than just a road project, the Kingsford Smith Drive upgrade involves the transformation of the site into a vibrant urban corridor. The improvements aim to maximise public access to the river and reinforce Brisbane’s identity as a new world city.

Built along the Brisbane River at Hamilton, the new River Walk has a dedicated two-metre wide riverside pedestrian path apart from the three-metre-wide, two-way off-road cycle path.
The Kingsford Smith Drive River Walk is the latest addition to Brisbane’s world-class active transport network. It provides users with unique views of the iconic Brisbane River and CBD and allows residents and visitors to explore the area’s dining, boutique shopping, and retail precincts.
