Caboolture-Bribie Island Road, Old Toorbul Point Road to Saint Road

Construction is underway to duplicate the existing lanes to a 4-lane, dual carriageway on Caboolture-Bribie Island Road from Old Toorbul Point Road to just east of Saint Road. The project includes signalising the Volz Road/Browns Road intersection.

The upgrade will improve safety, connectivity and traffic flow, easing congestion on critical sections of the road.

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

A separate project to upgrade the Caboolture-Bribie Island Road and Old Toorbul Point Road intersection was completed in September 2021 as part of this program. Investment ID 489249.
