Road Closures - Brisbane Marathon

EVENT & ROAD CLOSURE NOTIFICATION
The annual Brisbane Marathon Festival will be held on Sunday 7th August 2016. This event includes
an internationally recognised Marathon, as well as Half Marathon, 10km, 5km and 2.2km races. In order
to ensure the safety of all participants, comprehensive traffic management plans will be in place, from
the earliest time of 03:00 to latest time of 13:00, to manage road closures across the following
suburbs: Brisbane City, Kangaroo Point, South Brisbane, West End
FOR BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS IN BRISBANE CITY
Traffic conditions will be changed from 03:00 for the Marathon and Half Marathon, which will start at 06:00, followed by the
10km race at 06:30. All three races start at Alice St and traverse the City towards the Story Bridge and into Kangaroo Point.
After the 10km event has commenced, there will be a progressive dismantling of traffic control infrastructure and re-opening
of roads in the City. Roads will be fully opened by no later than 08:00, with many re-opened by 07:00.
FOR BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS IN KANGAROO POINT/SOUTH BRISBANE/WEST END
Once runners have left the City, a significant amount of the events are run on Shared Pathways. Certain roads, especially in
Kangaroo Point and West End, still require closure from vehicular traffic, but every attempt will be made to allow for limited
access for businesses and residents where possible.
Traffic management infrastructure will be removed systematically as the last runners move through the course. Strict cut-off
times will be enforced to ensure roads re-open as required by permit conditions.
Specific closure and re-opening times will be advertised on signage on affected roads two weeks prior to the event, and
details of this are found overleaf.
EMERGENCY VEHICLES
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times by Police Officers, Traffic Controllers and Event Marshals
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Some bus services may be affected along the course, in particular on Montague Rd. An alternative shuttle services will
operate in West End for affected Montague Rd services. Ferry services will remain unaffected.
TAXIS
The Taxi Council has been advised of this event and potential impacts on their customers. Please allow for delays.
STREET PARKING
Please do not park along the course as this will restrict both access from the area during the race times and will impact on
emergency vehicles needing to use the lane space.
ENFORCED CLEARWAYS
Alice St will have enforced clearways for the event and vehicles parked in the designated kerbside parking areas will be fined
and towed away.
FOR CYCLISTS
High volumes of runners and walkers will be using Shared Pathways/Bikeways, including:
Botanic Gardens Bikeway/ Kangaroo Point/ Clem Jones Promenade, South Bank/ Riverside Drive/ Go-Between Bridge/
Bicentennial Bikeway/ Kurilpa Bridge/ Goodwill Bridge.
Please plan ahead to avoid any delays. Detailed course maps may be viewed on the Brisbane Marathon Festival website.
