Project overview

The Lake Burley Griffin bridge-to-bridge route is one of Canberra’s most popular active travel corridors enjoyed daily by commuters, walkers, runners, cyclists, dog walkers and more.

A series of improvements were delivered in 2026 around the Central Basin to make it easier, safer and more intuitive for everyone to move through the area.

These works will enhance how people navigate and share the path network and include refreshed and new signage, improved line marking and path decals, as well as better promoting the separated pedestrian and cyclist sections in key locations. 

Together these improvements will support a safer and more enjoyable experience for all users of the Lake Burley Griffin path network.
