Jack Pesch Bridge

The Jack Pesch Bridge is a pedestrian footbridge spanning the Brisbane River and connecting Chelmer and Indooroopilly with a cable-stayed structural design. It serves as a dedicated crossing for walkers and cyclists as part of the wider local network.

The bridge was officially opened on October 2, 1998, by the Queensland Transport Minister and Brisbane's Lord Mayor. It was named to honor a significant figure in the city's cycling history.

The bridge is named after Jack Pesch, who ran a bicycle shop in Petrie Terrace and built his own cycles called Rocket. His legacy connects the local cycling community to this crossing.

Access to the bridge is free and available at all times for pedestrians and cyclists. The crossing integrates well with the surrounding walking and cycling routes, making it simple to reach from nearby neighborhoods.

The crossing sits directly next to the Albert and Walter Taylor Bridges, creating a cluster of passages at this stretch of the river. This arrangement gives visitors multiple pathways to explore and connect the two riverbanks in the area.
