Caboolture-Bribie Island Road Upgrade Program

The department is planning sequential upgrades to improve safety, ease congestion and improve traffic flow and connectivity on critical sections of Caboolture-Bribie Island Road.

The road will be upgraded to 4 lanes, with a median-divided cross section for its entire length.
