The "detour" is go up the park Rd ramp, cross at lights (3 sets, walk  
of course, don't ride), ride along the coro drive inbound-side  
footpath to cribb st, cross again (dismount twice) down ramp back onto  
bicentennial jogway.

Yeah, in their eyes they've "provided" a detour (involving 5 separate  
pedestrian crossings), so cries of "no option" will not get anyone  
very far.

If I was still riding to the CBD every day, I'd give St Lucia a hard  
look.
