See what is planned for Stage 2B and why its shared path and intersections must work safely for riders of all ages.

Changes are taking shape around London Circuit, with new cycling paths and lanes emerging as part of Light Rail Stage 2A and the Lyric Theatre precinct. Take a look at the latest progress, and find out how Kurrajong members can get involved in shaping Pedal Power’s local advocacy.

Changes are coming to Lake Burley Griffin’s popular Central Basin paths, including a new pedestrian-only section along the northern foreshore and alternative routes for people riding. Pedal Power welcomes the changes and says they are a practical step towards reducing conflicts, while calling for longer-term improvements on the lake’s busier southern side.

Construction of Stage 2A of the Kingston Cycleway will begin in early August, marking a significant milestone for one of Canberra's most important cycling connections. The new section will improve links between Fyshwick, Kingston and central Canberra with a wider shared path, safer crossings and upgraded lighting. Pedal Power has advocated for the C2 corridor for many years and continues to work with Transport Canberra and City Services to help shape future stages of the project. While we remain disappointed that the original Eastlake Parade alignment was not retained, we welcome the start of construction and look forward to seeing this long-awaited route open later this year.

A recent near miss on the Garden City Cycleway highlights how poor sightlines can put bike riders and drivers at risk. We look at what happened, what the photos reveal and the simple changes that could make this crossing safer for everyone.

With major roadworks continuing around Commonwealth Avenue and the city, temporary routes and detours are becoming part of everyday travel. This article highlights the importance of wayfinding signage in helping people navigate changing conditions, and shares some practical reminders for riding safely on shared paths, particularly around complex intersections where multiple routes converge.

Getting around Canberra City this winter will look a little different, with several major construction projects underway around Commonwealth Avenue Bridge.

While key routes remain open, conditions are shifting. The east side bridge path continues to be the most reliable crossing, and the waterside path on the north side of the lake is now the safest and most consistent option for moving between the city and west side.

Expect detours, changing conditions, and some delays particularly around Barrine Drive and the Acton Waterfront area. Signage will guide riders, but planning ahead will make your trip smoother.

Multiple head-on bike collisions have been reported at a blind corner beneath the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge, prompting Pedal Power to raise urgent safety concerns with project authorities. With further Commonwealth Avenue closures scheduled later this month, riders are urged to take extra care when navigating the changing detours and shared-path conditions.

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.

Get ready for major changes on Commonwealth Avenue. From mid-November, lane closures will begin as preparations start for a two-year bridge strengthening project.

Throughout 2026, the west (northbound) bridge will close completely, with all bike and pedestrian traffic moved to the east side. In 2027, the roles will reverse — the east bridge will close and riders will shift to the newly widened western path.

Expect regular weekend closures around London Circuit, Northbourne Avenue, and Parkes Way while the city’s major infrastructure upgrades continue. Mike Watson shares practical route tips to help riders stay safe and keep rolling through the disruption.

This advocacy update pertains to the Raising London Circuit project and light rail works, which are transforming the city centre. While drivers face delays and frustration, people on bikes, on foot, and on light rail are still enjoying smooth, reliable journeys. The newly opened southern half of the London Circuit shows what’s possible, with wide bike lanes and generous footpaths built for active travel. With years of construction ahead, cycling may be the smartest way to move through Canberra - read on to see what’s changing and how it affects your ride.
