Jurors in the murder trial of former Brisbane real estate agent Gerard Baden-Clay will visit the site where his wife's body was found.

The group of 12 plus three reserve jurors will be taken to the Kholo Bridge at Anstead in Brisbane's west on Monday.

A kayaker discovered the body of 43-year-old Allison Baden-Clay on a creek bank below the bridge on April 30, 2012.

The discovery was made 10 days after her husband reported her missing from their home in nearby Brookfield.

The jury will also tour the former Baden-Clay family home, which is now part of a childcare centre.

They will be driven past the homes of neighbours who testified to hearing screams or loud exclamations coming from the Baden-Clay's home on the night of April 19, 2012.

More than 50 witnesses have given evidence in the Brisbane Supreme Court during Baden-Clay's trial, which enters its third week.

The 43-year-old has pleaded not guilty to murder.

Police are expected to close the Kholo Bridge to traffic on Monday morning during the jury's visit.
