Bruce Highway Upgrade - Dohles Rocks Road to Anzac Avenue

Given that most Mango Hill and North Lakes residents travel
“The Bruce” on a regular, if not daily basis, the information in this
article will be of great interest and as such, has been reproduced
for public interest.

Main Roads (TMR) as available on Link: https://www.yoursay-

Media reports over recent weeks have covered understandable
concerns from Murrumba Downs and Griffin residents living
in or owning land adjacent to the Bruce Highway between
Dohles Rocks Road and Anzac Ave. The information below is
reproduced to provide interested persons to participate in
Public consultation sessions as outlined in the image on the left.
First stage – extended north-facing ramps

• Providing extended north-facing ramps (northbound entry
and southbound exit ramps) from Dohles Rocks Road to
Anzac Avenue along the Bruce Highway
• The extended ramps provide an effective additional future
lane on the Bruce Highway to the north.

Timing:
Finalising business case in late 2022. Construction to start 2024.
See map to the right.

Future stages – collector-distributor roads to Anzac
Avenue

• Constructing collector-distributor roads on both sides of the
Bruce Highway from Dohles Rocks Road to Anzac Avenue
• Upgrades to the Anzac Avenue interchange to the Bruce
Highway
• A shared pedestrian and cycle path on the east side of the Bruce Highway from Dohles Rocks Road to Anzac Avenue.
Timing: Detailed design and construction timing is not confirmed and is subject to further approvals and funding.

Moreton Connector

The Moreton Connector, a proposed new road east of the Bruce Highway from Dohles Rocks Road to Anzac Avenue, will not progress
to design and construction at this stage. The corridor will continue to be preserved by TMR and Moreton Bay Regional Council for
future potential use.

SUMMARY:

TMR have advised that the community is encouraged to visit the project website at:
www.tmr.qld.gov.au/GatewayMwyBruceHwyUpgrades to find out more information about this major planning project, and provide
feedback about the proposed upgrades.

• Click through to the Have Your Say page to provide your comments on the interactive map or take the online survey. You can
also talk to the project team at upcoming drop-in sessions (refer to the project webpage for more information on dates and
locations).
• From this planning, the Department of Transport and Main Roads will develop a whole-of-network solution for the area that
reduces congestion and improves safety, travel time reliability, connectivity and accessibility.

TMR has advised that community consultation for the Gateway Motorway and Bruce Highway Upgrades (GMBHU) project, in the
north Brisbane and southern Moreton Bay region, has commenced and is open until 9 December 2022.
