Complete: waterfront connection
The crossing at Jervois Quay between Post Office Square and Queens Wharf has been improved for people on foot and on bikes.
We've also made space for bikes on the southern side of Post Office Square to create a direct biking connection to the waterfront.
These changes make this area safer and easier for everyone.
The bike lane and crossing improvements were completed in February 2020.
