To meet future transport needs, the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) carried out significant upgrades to the Gateway Motorway between Nudgee and Bracken Ridge.

Reducing congestion for over 80,000 motorists a day

The upgrade aimed to deliver significant road safety improvements and reduce congestion on a section of the motorway, which caters for over 80,000 motorists a day. Major works sustained more than 1,000 jobs in the area.

The Gateway Upgrade North project was completed in June 2022 and has reduced congestion, while also accommodating future growth and improved motorists’ safety by:

  • Improving travel time reliability
  • Providing extended on and off-ramps to reduce queuing
  • Separating local traffic, minimising merging and weaving and reducing accidents
  • Increasing safety for road users through median and roadside barriers, wider shoulders, improved motorway alignment and installation of intelligent transport systems (ITS)
  • Improving connectivity to key areas

Transurban Queensland engaged Aurecon on behalf of TMR to provide independent verification services to ensure complete compliance of the Gateway Upgrade North design and construction with the Design & Construct (D&C) Deed.

The Gateway Upgrade North project required design packages and construction works to be verified, commissioned and transferred over as assets to Transurban Queensland. 

Other allied road infrastructure was delivered and transferred to third parties, including the Brisbane City Council (BCC), Queensland Rail (QR), ENERGEX and public utility plant (PUP) authorities.
