What's new

Staged busway gets green light

The Queensland Government has approved the Eastern Busway Concept Design and Impact Management Plan (CDIMP).

The Government has committed $465.8 million for the next section of the Eastern Busway. This funding is for property acquisition between Buranda and Cavendish Road, Coorparoo and construction of the 1.05km section between the South East Busway, Buranda and Main Avenue, Coorparoo.

Further stages of the Eastern Busway are ready for immediate delivery, should funding become available under the Commonwealth Government's Building Australia Fund.


Princess Alexandra Hospital to South East Busway

Construction of this 600 metre section began in July 2007 and is due for completion by late 2009.

South East Busway to Main Avenue

Queensland Transport has appointed Sinclair Knight Merz/Maunsell AECOM as the designer for this section.

The Government is now reviewing proposals from construction companies interested in joining Queensland Transport and SKM/Maunsell AECOM in an alliance to deliver this section.

Queensland Transport expects to have a constructor on board by Christmas, with construction on track to start in mid-2009 for completion by early 2012.
