This project is well overdue and is going to be fantastic upon completion. Be good to get this road up to real freeway status around the airport. Now all they have to do is stop the bit to the North from getting potholes in it every 2 months!!
^^ Agree! strongly agree! this will boost trade, employment in the area and population! This is a fantastic development for the Australia trade coast... and port of bris

Airport link
Airport Freeway
The NSBT
Great and well needed infrastructure...all funded by 1 government, the state gov...good on Beattie!
If anything I am very curious to see how or what they do with the Airport Link connection. Surely they will have to put an underpass under that set of traffic lights so that it is a not stop connection....
With the new deviation, will the existing motorway on the north side be torn up and redeveloped? Surely it would happen as it would be essentially redundant.
^^ in the video i didnt see a southbound access to the new bridge from the existing mwy allignment. this area is such a grey area of the project as no one from the public actually knows wats going to happen.

Watch it again.
The northbound split is on the video. 3 lanes on existing alignment and 3 lanes on the new. I presume that would be the same for the southbound merge.

All by one party?
I’m pretty sure two of those projects have been conceived by the Lord Mayor and financed to some extent.
Also, indirectly most of state government revenue comes from the Federal Government (i.e. QLD’s large share of GST revenue vs the (low) contributions QLD makes to company profits and (low contribution to total) GST expenditure).

Maybe up to North Lakes.. I just cant even see it up to Bribie considering the swamps/wilderness etc out there. Also lets not forget the National Park beside Bribie stretching up to the Caloundra turn-off (at the Bruce).
i know about the southern corridor and i think its bullocks! why!!!!! there is an 8 lane monster running parallel to it.
as for the north, in 20 years i reckon we'll be lucky to see the Bruce 6-8 lanes little own another freeway. why? theres no towns for it to serve a purpose.
they should be investing heavily in the western bypass and making Old Cleveland Rd from the Gateway a motorway to Cleveland with ofcourse the busway in the middle
^^ With this upgrade, why the hell aren't they upgrading the whole project to at 6 lanes the whole length from Bruce Hwy/Gympie Arterial to Pacific Mwy.
I mean i was stuck in two traffic jams the last few times i was down there, which was about two weeks ago now.
yea, that's what I think... the Bruce Hwy from D/Bay Rd to Gympie Arterial is Great! But from there on to the Pacific Motorway and Gateway Extension needs an extra lane desperatley, the traffic crawls at almost every exit/entry between 6am - 8am and 330pm - 630pm
Well this project has started construction. Due to be totally completed in 2011.
