A $6 Billion Gympie Road Bypass Tunnel for Brisbane's North? | Talking Tactics with Mel Pikos

In a significant development for Brisbane's northern suburbs, a $35 million study will be led by the Queensland Investment Corporation to explore the potential construction of a toll tunnel connecting Kedron and Carseldine. This ambitious project, spanning about 7 kilometres, promises to reduce congestion and improve connectivity by seamlessly linking the Bruce Highway to Legacy Way, Clem 7, M1, and Centenary Highway.

The study will assess technical, financial, and transportation aspects while considering the impact on public and active transport options in the corridor.

This study is looking at a highly contentious area of Brisbane’s northside known as the North West Transport Corridor: an area that includes plenty of bushland and green space which has been set aside for decades for future surface-level transport developments. But there is increasing calls to protect this green space, rather than strip it away, and add new transport developments underground via tunnels. This isn’t even the first tunnel proposal – a study was recently completed by the Brisbane City Council to look at a potential combined road and rail tunnel, with connections to similar points in this new study. What’s changed in this new study?

And finally, Suburban Futures and MODE Design have released images of what the Chermside suburb could become, if heavy through transport was diverted away via the tunnel, and the road reclaimed to become better utilised pedestrian friendly spaces that will enhance the area for businesses, residents and visitors.

Let’s take a look. Today we’re talking tactics.
