Caboolture-Bribie Island Road, Hickey Road to King Johns Creek

Design is progressing for the future duplication of Caboolture-Bribie Island Road from west of Hickey Road to west of King Johns Creek. The project includes signalising the Hickey Road intersection.

This project forms part of the Bribie Island Road Upgrade Strategy, which outlines the Queensland Government's long–term plan to provide a 4–lane, median-divided road for the length of the corridor.

Benefits

  • Improves safety
  • Increases capacity
  • Increases traffic flow
  • Better road access
  • Better active transport

Key features

  • Duplicate the existing lanes from west of Hickey Road to west of King Johns Creek from 2 lanes to 4 lanes
  • Install a centre median to separate vehicles travelling in opposite directions, reducing the potential for crashes
  • Signalise the Hickey Road intersection including the installation of a U-turn facility for westbound vehicles
  • Install pedestrian crossings and improved bus stops at the Hickey Road intersection
  • Install a shared path on the northern extent from east of Pasturage Road to Hickey Road
  • Improve bike rider safety with wider shoulders and marked bike lanes at conflict points
