Your truck will be pre-packed the day prior to event day and the driver will help you load any extra equipment you might have so please allow extra time to make this process smooth for everyone. Once the truck has been given the ‘all clear’ by an EMS Member, he will be required to follow the EMS official vehicle onto the bridge.
In order to get your team to the top of the bridge safely, we ask that you follow him up to the top of the gateway bridge in one single personal vehicle. It is imperative that your personal vehicle is hidden (as much as possible) and more importantly that it does not move until the truck has been given permission at the end of your performance time. Please turn on your hazard lights whenever driving on course.
Please note a number of roads will be closed around Brisbane. To view the list, follow this link – https://bridgetobrisbane.com.au/road-closures/
