Brisbane is preparing to welcome the Queen’s Baton Relay ahead of the Commonwealth Games, with less than a week until it tours the streets of Brisbane.

Roads across the city will be temporarily shut and bus routes delayed as the baton travels from Brighton to Sherwood on Friday, and will then continue its journey on Saturday from Sherwood to South Bank Parklands.

Over the 39-kilometre baton-bearer mode, it will be exchanged every 200 metres. Road closures and bus services on the route will be detoured.
