Why is the Airport Roundabout Upgrade needed?

Growth in employment and travel demand to the Brisbane Airport and Australia TradeCoast is placing enormous pressure on Brisbane’s road infrastructure.

At peak times the airport roundabout and East-West Arterial Road are heavily congested, causing delays for motorists travelling to the Airport Precinct and restricting local traffic movements.

The Airport Roundabout Upgrade will provide a long-term solution to relieve traffic congestion, reduce delays and improve safety at the airport roundabout.

What are the benefits of the project?

The project will offer:

• reliable and fast access to and from the domestic and international airport terminals
• reduced traffic congestion and delays for business, Brisbane’s residents and visitors
• potential savings of more than 10 minutes for trips going to and from the airport during peak periods
• improved road safety
• reduced traffic delays and improved reliability with the overpass providing a direct connection between the East-West Arterial Road and Airport Drive.
