Advocacy update: clearer cycling access secured at Commonwealth Avenue Bridge

Ongoing works at Commonwealth Avenue Bridge have raised important questions about rider safety, wayfinding, and the need for clear, coordinated communication during major infrastructure projects. Following concerns raised by members, particularly around northbound access into the city, Pedal Power’s advocacy has already led to improved signage, updated detour maps, and stronger communication from project teams.

As construction continues, it is critical that safe and legible access for people riding and walking remains a core priority. How agencies coordinate traffic management and active travel routes through this busy corridor will help shape best practice for future major works across Canberra.
