The Miles government has largely progressed its tunnel proposal in secret. One of the first documents made public reveals 40 per cent of people would not use it.
The Queensland government has spent $35 million investigating a new Brisbane traffic tunnel, and this week allocated $318 million more, despite being unable to demonstrate that it would deliver a net economic benefit.for a Gympie Road Bypass Tunnel from Kedron to Carseldine. It then convinced the government to allow it to set up a subsidiary, North Brisbane Infrastructure, to develop plans.
“The project has identified complementary network improvements to maximise the benefits of improved traffic flows along the road network between the Gympie Road Bypass and the Bruce Highway. The project would span nine kilometres, with seven kilometres of tunnel, largely running underneath Gympie Road. At the northern end, a cut and cover tunnel under the Beams Road intersection would connect to Gympie Arterial Road. At the other end, the portal would be somewhere north of the Stafford Road intersection, with traffic unable to enter or exit the tunnel anywhere else.
“Of those who did not support the project, key reasons included a preference for prioritising public and active transport investment and not wanting to pay tolls,” the summary states.
