Gateway Updgrade Project - Steady progress

The Gateway Upgrade Project (GUP) will duplicate the existing Gateway Bridge and upgrade 20 kilometres of the Gateway Motorway from Mt. Gravatt-Capalaba Road to Nudgee Road. As you can see (below), progress is well underway with the first span completed.

The progressive opening of all phases of this project will be completed by mid-2011, providing six lanes in either direction across the two Gateway Bridges.

The $1.88 billion upgrade includes:

• Construction of a second Gateway Bridge including a new shared pedestrian/cycle path.
• Construction of a new Gateway Motorway deviation providing faster travel times and enhanced access to Brisbane Airport.
• Additional Motorway lanes and improved connections to the Motorway from Wynnum Road, Lytton Road, the Port of Brisbane Motorway and Kingsford Smith Drive.
• Refurbishing the existing Gateway Bridge to reflect iconic new lighting and urban design featured in the design of the second bridge.
