Airport Roundabout Upgrade
Motorists will save more than 10 minutes in peak hour traffic at Brisbane's airport roundabout following construction of the Airport Roundabout Upgrade - the solution to one of Brisbane's biggest bottlenecks. 
A new 750m flyover bridge connecting the East-West Arterial to Airport Drive will dramatically improve traffic flow to and from the airport.
Underneath the flyover, the roundabout will be replaced with a highly efficient, signalised fast diamond intersection which motorists will be able to cross in half the time it takes to get through the roundabout.
Key features of the Airport Roundabout Upgrade include:
- Improved connections to the airport precinct, the Gateway Motorway and Kingsford
Smith Drive
- Replacing the existing Gateway Motorway overpass at the roundabout with a new four
lane overpass
- High capacity 'fast diamond' signalised intersection to replace the existing roundabout
- New four-lane 750 metre flyover bridge linking the East-West Arterial Road and
the Airport Drive over the Gateway Motorway overpass
- Widening of the East-West Arterial to three lanes in each direction
- Surface road improvements to Airport Drive
To achieve construction efficiencies and achieve better value for the State, the Airport Roundabout Upgrade will be constructed together with Airport Link.
