What is Northern Busway? (Windsor to Kedron)
The ultimate Northern Busway is a two-lane, two-way bus-only roadway connecting the Inner Northern Busway at the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) busway station in Herston to Bracken Ridge via Windsor, Lutwyche, Kedron, Chermside and Aspley.
The Windsor to Kedron section of the Northern Busway will be delivered with Airport Link and will separate buses from general traffic along Lutwyche Road between Windsor and Kedron.
