The section from Anzac Avenue to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road is highlighted and the key features noted. These are an upgrade to four lanes northbound and southbound, potential separate active transport corridor beside the highway, Anzac Avenue interchange to remain, Plantation Road overpass to remain and Boundary Road interchange to remain. The location of Westfields North Lakes is noted.

The flythrough moves north to highlight the following project features. Potential future active transport corridor along Old Gympie Road.

The location of the start of the collector-distributor road northbound is highlighted north of the Uhlmann Road interchange and new active transport facilities including an underpass under Uhlmann Road west of the interchange and paths either side of the overpass are highlighted.

North of the Uhlman Road interchange, the northbound exit to the Service Centre and Morayfield is shown and the southbound exit to Morayfield and Burpengary East is shown.

As the flythrough moves north the location of new active transport corridor is shown, along with the northbound collector-distributor road and the southbound collector-distributor road. The words “three lanes northbound” and “four lanes southbound” appear on the highway lanes along with the words “noise barrier” on the eastern side of the corridor.

Moving further north, the words “Access to Service Centre via collector-distributor road” appears on the northbound collector distributor roads and the words “Underground fauna crossing spanning the highway” appear to the south of the service centres.

The words Northbound Service Centre appear west of the highway and Southbound Service Centre appear east of the Bruce Highway. A label showing the location of a continuing active transport path appears just north of the Northbound Service Centre location.

Another fauna crossing label depicts a structure spanning the highway and an access to the Service Centre via collector-distributor road is shown on the southbound lanes.

The vision shows three lanes northbound and four lanes southbound on the main highway. A green directional sign points east showing the exit ramp to Morayfield and North Harbour. The ramp connects to Buchanan Road which is labelled and connects to the Buchanan Road interchange. A signalised intersections are shown and labelled on both sides of the interchange which shows an overpass spanning the highway.

A signalised intersection is labelled on the eastern side of the highway. It connects to a road labelled North Harbour Boulevard connection.

At the Buchanan Road interchange a new active transport underpass is shown under a run that runs east-west on the western side of the interchange and active transport facilities are also labelled on the eastern side of the interchange. As the words New active transport facilities appear green lines highlight the location of these facilities on the Buchanan Road overpass and alongside roads east and west of the highway and continuing parallel to the highway on the western side.

Continue to travel north along the highway a new label appears showing four lanes southbound. The visions zooms out to show an extended stretch of highway stretching northwards and in the distance another interchange is shown. In the foreground, braided highway ramps are shown as grade-separated roads.

Green directional signage appears on the screen showing exit points and pointing to locations where the exit ramps begin. The signs appearing from south to north are: Exit Caboolture-Bribie Island Road and D’Aguilar Highway. Three flashing lines appear on screen with each one showcasing available routes. A light blue and white flashing line is used to showcase the route that motorists would take to follow the Caboolture-Bribie Island Road and D’Aguilar Highway exit.

Further north another green directional sign points to D’Aguilar Highway and a green and white flashing line showcases the route that motorists would follow to reach that destination. It ends with motorists travelling north on a service road. Another green directional sign includes an arrow showing the direction to Caboolture and a dark blue and white flashing line indicates the route that motorists would travel to access Caboolture. Three flashing lines move at once to showcase the three route options that motorists have available, and the main highway has moving traffic, some cars and some trucks to simulate how the highway and collector-distributor roads will operate under traffic.

A green directional sign shows with a north-east pointing arrow and the words Bruce Highway showing the entry point for motorists to access the Bruce Highway. The blue and white and green and white flashing lines appear again. They are showcasing the two roues available for motorists to travel northbound and access the Bruce Highway.

Concept showing the future Caboolture-Bribie Island Road interchange with green flashing lines to showcase new active transport facilities.

Marker appears showing the D’Aguilar Highway connection to southbound collector-distributor road and a green directional sign with a north-west arrow pointing towards the D’Aguilar Highway and Bruce Highway.

Concept switches to southbound viewing and a green directional sign marks the exit ramp to Caboolture-Bribie Island Road pm the eastern side pf the highway.

Light blue and white flashing line shows route to Burpengary West, green and white flashing line shows route to Burpengary East, and dark blue and white flashing line shows route from overpass to Bruce Highway southbound lanes.

Concept showing dark blue and white flashing line to highlight route from Caboolture-Bribie Island Road to Bruce Highway entry including green directional sign. Green and white flashing line marks route from collector-distributor road to Bruce Highway southbound lanes.

Concept shows intersection on Caboolture-Bribie Island Road overpass and markers at Lower King Street, active transport path beside the road, U-turn facilities near the Mewett Street intersection, upgraded intersection to include traffic signals and realignment of Mewett Street.
