About Eleanor Schonell Bridge
The Eleanor Schonell Bridge, commonly known as the Green Bridge, serves as a vital transport link in Dutton Park. Spanning the Brisbane River, this cable-stayed structure is reserved exclusively for buses, cyclists, and pedestrians, ensuring efficient transit without private vehicle congestion. It provides a direct route for residents and commuters travelling between the southern suburbs and the inner west. The design includes dedicated lanes and sheltered walkways, making it a reliable option for active transport throughout the year regardless of weather conditions.
Located near the Dutton Park Railway Station, the bridge acts as a primary gateway to the University of Queensland St Lucia campus. It facilitates high-frequency bus services that connect major education and medical precincts across the city. Visitors to the area often use the bridge for recreational purposes, taking advantage of the wide pathways and elevated perspectives of the river. As a functional landmark, it remains a central component of the local infrastructure, supporting the growing population and sustainable travel initiatives in Brisbane.
