- Toowong to West End Bridge
- St Lucia to West End Bridge – from the corner of Keith Street and Macquarie Street in St Lucia across the Brisbane River to the southern end of Boundary Street in West End
- Breakfast Creek Bridge – from Kingsford Smith Drive at Albion to Breakfast Creek Road at Newstead
- Bellbowrie Bridge – from the river end of Weekes Road in Bellbowrie to Grindle Road in Wacol

The Toowong to West End green bridge will cater to pedestrians, cyclists, and possibly for public transport depending on the outcome of public consultation and traffic studies.
The proposed bridge will serve as the link between the West End and Toowong business area, rail and ferry services, existing walking and cycling network, as well as the proposed St Lucia to West End green bridge.
The Council has identified the proposed alignment which will extend from near Archer Street in Toowong, across the Brisbane River to Orleigh Park, and near Forbes Street in West End.
