Port of Brisbane road capacity will double after upgrade

Construction, which is expected to begin next year, will be funded by the Port of Brisbane and will upgrade 3.2km of road to dual carriageway and will include at least two intersection upgrades.

According to a statement, $385m was spent on infrastructural improvements at the port in 2013. Included in the works were lane extensions, the construction of six bridges and the elimination of a 90-degree bend in the road.

The benefits are tenfold in terms of access and contingency according to some industry observers.
