One lane of the busy Brisbane thoroughfare will be converted into a temporary bikeway from Monday, as the political stoush over the marooned Drift restaurant intensifies.

Drift restaurant sits high and dry on the Bicentennial Bikeway at Milton.The structure blocked the bikeway, which council public transport chairman Ryan Murphy said was used a million times a year.

“While this would have been an adequate solution for a short period of time, it is not sustainable for the six weeks it is going to take for the state government to start work.” The marooned restaurant has been a source of political blame-shifting between the LNP council and the state Labor government.

“The Queensland government is concerned by the findings within this report, and I’ve directed QRA to exercise its powers under the QRA Act to work with [Maritime Safety Queensland] to undertake emergency stabilisation and remediation works,” he said. “Unfortunately, this situation is going to take longer than first envisaged, and safety must be our priority.
