The announcement came after the Kingsford Smith Drive upgrades,a flagship project for the LNP administration,had beendelayed by a year,blown out byat least $47 million and left businessesstruggling to make ends meet.
Labor's mayoral candidate Pat Condren said Cr Schrinner had made an"absolute dog’s breakfast"of Kingsford Smith Drive and could not be trusted to manage large infrastructure projects.
"Can you imagine what would happen if this bloke tried to build five bridges?"he said.
"Tell him he's dreaming."
Cr Schrinner saidthe new bridges would come with a price tag of more than $550 million and were needed to tackle congestion.
A pedestrian and cycle bridge at Kangaroo Point to the CBDalready has a business case completed.
Two West End bridges,one from Toowong to West End and the other from St Lucia to West End,will be for pedestrians,cyclists and public transport.
