The Logan Motorway supports the movement of over $1 billion in freight each day and is a key transport corridor across South-East Queensland providing access to the Brisbane Airport and Port of Brisbane.
An estimated 210,000 trips are made on the Logan Motorway every day, however congestion on the motorway is worsening and significantly impacting productivity and road safety.
The Logan West Upgrade project aims to provide congestion relief and reduce travel times while improving road safety. The current scope of work includes:
- Adding an additional lane in each direction along the Logan Motorway between Centenary Motorway and the Mt Lindesay Highway, and an additional lane westbound between Boundary Road and Formation Street
- Upgrading the Formation Street interchange to cater for growing communities and industrial hubs
- Installing new smart motorway technologies
- Increasing vehicle height capacity across the Logan Motorway to allow for over-dimensional vehicles.
When complete, the project is forecast to reduce travel times by up to 20 minutes during peak periods in 2031, and remove around 6,100 vehicles from local streets.
Community consultation will commence in the second half of 2024. Most of the land required for the upgrade is within the existing motorway corridor. Significant work has already been undertaken as part of the preliminary design process to ensure little or no residential property acquisitions are required.
Once planning is complete, the Queensland Government will consider the proposal and Transurban will work with Government to agree on a suitable funding model.
Once approved, construction is expected to be completed before the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.
