- Bicentennial Bikeway closed at night. A section of the bikeway, between the Merivale Rail Bridge and William Jolly Bridge, will be closed from 22 August for three weeks for geotechnical investigations. To minimise disruption, the works will be undertaken during off-peak hours (9pm-4am) Sunday to Thursday. Works will commence on 22 August 2010 and continue for approximately three weeks, weather permitting. Cyclists heading west (towards Milton) should exit at the Makerston Street ramp and follow the signage along North Quay/Coronation Drive and rejoin the bikeway at the Cribb Street underpass. Cyclists heading east (towards the city) should exit at the Cribb Street underpass and follow the signage along Coronation Drive/North Quay and rejoin the bikeway at the Makerston Street ramp. Alternatively, pedestrians and cyclists can use the Go Between Bridge, Montague Road and Kurilpa Bridge.
