Queensland awards $950 million contract for Gateway to Bruce motorway upgrade

The Queensland Government has awarded a A$950 million contract to the Gateway Connect Joint Venture (GCJV), comprising CPB Contractors, BMD, and Georgiou, to upgrade the Gateway Motorway and Bruce Highway corridor in north Brisbane. This transformative infrastructure project aims to improve safety, connectivity, and resilience by adding lanes, replacing the Wyampa Road overpass, enhancing key interchanges, and implementing wildlife fencing and underpasses. The upgrade addresses congestion on a critical transport corridor that currently handles around 160,000 vehicles daily, with traffic expected to rise by 50% by 2041 due to population growth. Jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments, the project includes the $1 billion Gateway Motorway upgrade and the $948 million Bruce Highway Stage 1 upgrade. The GCJV emphasizes community benefits by creating training, employment, and procurement opportunities while minimizing disruption through innovative engineering solutions. The project reflects a major investment to futureproof the corridor against climate and population pressures, supporting economic growth and safer travel for Queenslanders.
