Works underway on QLD Progress Road upgrade Stage 4
Works on the Progress Road upgrade Stage 4 in Queensland is well underway and the Brisbane City Council has awarded Moggill Constructions to deliver the project.
According to Moggill’s statement on their LinkedIn: “The project will involve upgrading Progress Road between Boundary Road and the Centenary Motorway, Wacol to improve safety, increase flood immunity and increase capacity to cater for future traffic growth.”

- Installing a centre median island for road safety
- Upgrading the signalised intersection at the Komatsu access

- Installing on-road bike lanes in both directions on Progress Road
- Installing a three metre wide shared pathway on the north side and a 1.8 metre wide pedestrian path on the south side of Progress Road
- Installing a new 12 space car park with Progress Road Park
- Installing new LED street lighting

Traffic surveys conducted on Progress Road shows that the route carries approximately 15,000 vehicles a day, with up to 700 vehicles an hour during peak times. Progress Road is a primary access route for freight transport as well as a B-Double route.
The upgrade between Boundary Road and the Centenary Motorway is the final stage on the Progress Road upgrade between Ipswich Motorway and Poinsettia Street.
This project – which is jointly funded by the Australian Government and the Brisbane City Council – is expected to be completed by early 2019, weather permitting.
