PlanningThe department is undertaking integrated planning for the Gateway Motorway and Bruce Highway Upgrades in north Brisbane and the Moreton Bay Region.
Each day, around 160,000 vehicles travel between the Moreton Bay Region and north Brisbane on the Gateway Motorway, Bruce Highway and Gympie Arterial Road.
Significant population growth is increasing travel demand through this road corridor, with current traffic levels expected to increase by around 50% by 2041.
These projects are part of an integrated approach to planning for the Gateway Motorway and Bruce Highway Upgrades that investigate:
Community consultation for 2023 has closed.
The department would like to thank the community for providing feedback on the recommended planning for Gateway Motorway (Bracken Ridge to Pine River) and Bruce Highway (Gateway Motorway to Dohles Rocks Road).
TMR will continue to engage the community and provide further opportunities for feedback when planning progresses to design and construction. For more information, visit the consultation page.
Previous consultation
The community and key stakeholders provided their feedback during community consultation from October to December 2022.
This feedback was considered to inform the development of the three business cases.
A summary of the feedback is available to view.
The department recognises these upgrades will create changes in the local areas and we are committed to minimising these as much as possible as planning progresses.
Property impacts are expected from the upgrades, and we are engaging with impacted property owners.
There will be impacts on some surrounding wetlands and park areas. We are working to minimise these impacts with local environmental and community groups wherever possible.
Planning is considering potential changes to road traffic noise. This will include identifying possible noise treatment such as noise barriers.
