Bruce Highway (Brisbane - Gympie), Buchanan Road to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road upgrade, business case

An upgrade is planned for the Bruce Highway from Buchanan Road, Morayfield to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road, Caboolture.

Planning

Bruce Highway Upgrade - Anzac Avenue to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road

Planning investigations have confirmed a preferred option for future upgrades that includes the following:

  • Bruce Highway from Anzac Avenue to Uhlmann Road:
    • adding an additional northbound and southbound lane in this section of the Bruce Highway, expanding capacity to accommodate increased traffic demands and future growth. These new lanes will be built in the existing median, increasing lanes from three to four in each direction.
  • Bruce Highway from Uhlmann Road to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road:
    • adding multi-lane, one-way collector-distributor roads on both sides of the existing Bruce Highway. Collector-distributor roads were identified as the most viable solution for this section of the highway, which has three interchanges and a service centre in close proximity.

Collector-distributor roads are built alongside and separate to a highway carriageway. Collector-distributor roads will enhance highway operation and safety by removing traffic undertaking local or short distance trips from the highway and by reducing the need for lane changes to merge or weave through highway traffic.

Benefits

  • Improves safety
  • Increases capacity
  • Improves network efficiency
  • Reduces peak hour congestion
  • Reduces interchange queuing
  • Improves flood immunity
  • Accessibility
  • Reduces travel time
  • Contributes to economy
  • Contributes to regional growth

Funding

The Australian and Queensland governments have committed $34 million to develop business cases for planned upgrades to the Bruce Highway between Anzac Avenue and Caboolture–Bribie Island Road:

Bruce Highway Upgrade—Anzac Avenue to Uhlmann Road Investment ID 2349359.

Bruce Highway Upgrade—Uhlmann Road to Buchanan Road Investment ID 2349159.

Bruce Highway Upgrade—Buchanan Road to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road Investment ID 2348820.

Due to the interdependent nature of the upgrades between Uhlmann Road and Caboolture-Bribie Island Road, planning is being completed as one study.

The Anzac Avenue to Uhlmann Road section will progress to detailed design phase early next year. Scoping and early works (detailed onsite investigations) commenced mid-2025. Construction staging, timeframes and duration will be confirmed as the design progresses.

Funding for the completion of detailed design and construction of the upgrades in the remaining sections has not been committed at this time.
