A long-promised, multi-billion-dollar road and tunnel project is now advancing, designed to finally ease chronic congestion along the Gympie Road corridor, with preliminary works already underway as preparations are made for Transport and Main Roads to formally take full control of the bypass connecting Kedron to Carseldine.

    14 billion to induce more demand on a corridor that already has eight lanes of road.

    Yet they can’t get the funding to do the last 500 metres of surface-level bikeway to complete the North Brisbane Bikeway from the CBD all the way to Redcliffe.

    I wonder if they’re planning road diets on the surface. Maybe some bike lanes, bus lanes and wider footpaths.

    (For the record I highly doubt that, but if such a wasteful project were to go ahead that would be the best concession IMO).

      [They have talked about “reconfiguring” it to “cater more for local transport, public transport and active transport”. That was under Labor though, and even then I think there was good reason to be sceptical.

      Take care looking at the picture in that article. It was a mockup done by a third-party, not at the direction of the government.
