Caboolture - Beachmere Road, improve safety

Construction is underway to implement safety improvements for Caboolture – Beachmere Road (locally known as Beachmere Road) and enhance overall driving conditions.

The widened road dedicated right-turn lanes, and wide centre line treatment will enhance safety for motorists. The improved linemarking and shoulder will also provide extra space for vehicles to pass on-road bike riders more safely. 

With dedicated right-turn lanes at Riversleigh Road and the Marina, traffic flow will be improved, reducing delays and congestion at these intersections.  Through traffic will be able to continue unimpeded, contributing to better overall network efficiency.

The completion of this project will improve safety for all road users, improve travel times, journey reliability and increase regional connectivity and economic growth.

Map of the project area of the Beachmere Road safety improvement project. Image includes an overview map of Beachmere Road from Jocelyn Street to Egan Avenue. The legend explains that from Jocelyn Street to east of the Marina, the road will be widened to nine metres to accommodate a wide centre line treatment and priority intersections at Riversleigh Road and the Marina access will also be upgraded. The remaining section east of the Marina to Egan Avenue will be resurfaced and a wide centre line treatment will be installed. The map also shows smaller maps of Riversleigh Road intersection and the Marina Access which will have channelised right-turn lanes installed and information about the widening, resurfacing and linemarking to accommodate a wide centre line treatment and one-metre wide shoulders.
