Brisbane City Council is undertaking essential maintenance works to the William Jolly Bridge, between Brisbane City and South Brisbane this weekend from 11pm on Friday 26 May until 5am Monday 29 May 2023 (weather and maintenance conditions permitting). These works are required to occur over a full weekend (24/7 period) when traffic volumes are lowest, including for safety.

To complete the works as quickly and safely as possible, all William Jolly Bridge lanes will be temporarily closed to motorists. To minimise disruption to the community, tolls will be waived on the Go Between Bridge for the duration of the closure.

Road closure period:
Friday 26 May 11pm to Monday 29 May 2023 5am

Toll free period:
Friday 26 May 9pm to Monday 29 May 2023 5am

Navigating with Google Maps / Apple Maps?
Untick "avoid toll roads" for the weekend to take advantage of the toll free period.

Navigating with Waze?
Travel as usual as it has been setup to allow travel for free during this period (unticking the avoid toll road field is not required).

Happy travels!

    The go between bridge is the worst thing in Brisbane. Even during peak traffic you save maybe 1 minute if you use it and it's about $4 to go across. Worst bridge ever.

    Now if only it were free forever… Might finally help clear up some of the city traffic. Nobody takes it as-is unless they take a wrong turn - they can't be making much money from it.

      I am the only who made the wrong turn and paid the price ! They are sneaky as there were no warning sign that if you turn you will be up for toll fees !

    Off topic, but as a southerner I like the whimsy in the way Brissy names things. The go between, the jolly, the Clem 7.
    These are good names for things that could otherwise be called something boring or purely functional.

    Is this bridge named after the band the go-betweens?

        That’s so cool I just thought I was being silly thinking that they might of named the bridge after them but they actually did that’s so awesome. As he said when you start a band you’d never think that you’d have an actual bridge named afteryou.it’s nice to actually say that the Queensland government actually respected bands in the end after all though bashings and police corruption that went on in the 80s.
