Gateway Bikeway Project

The Gateway Bikeway plan seems to provide good bicycle access to the Airport from the North, but access from the South seems messy. Apparently Qld Rail wouldn't allow a level crossing near the Gateway road opposite Viola place. So the bike route had to use the bridge at Schneider Rd to get across the railway line. The access to the Airport then would be through Trade Coast Central Industrail Estate -not the best environment for a carefree ride.

BAC notice to airport tenants discouraging cycling

Despite BAC discouraging cycling on airport roads, most cycle commuters have continued to cycle. The high price of fuel, and traffic congestion are probably the reasons cycling remains popular. Some airport roads have wide sealed shoulders, no parked cars and few intersections and are better to ride on than many other Brisbane Roads. Other roads, such as sections of Airport Drive and areas of Lomandra Drive have had concrete concrete barriers placed on the shoulder, obstructing the shoulder and are no fun at all to ride along.
