Bowen Hills
The Bowen Hills precinct represents the southern or ‘city’ connection to the Airport Link and Northern Busway projects.
The Northern Busway (Windsor to Kedron) will connect with the recently opened Northern Busway Stage 1 near the Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital, via an adjoining bridge structure crossing Breakfast Creek and Bowen Bridge Road before merging onto the existing Lutwyche Road alignment and extending to Kedron.
An integrated network of roads and bridges will enable the Inner City Bypass, Clem 7 and local road network in Bowen Hills to connect with the Airport Link tunnel.
