Kedron
The Kedron precinct provides the northern suburbs’ connection to both the Airport Link toll road and the Northern Busway. Throughout construction, Kedron will be a hub of activity as it falls at the centre of the project’s alignment.
Major surface work, construction of four new bridges and tunnelling will be undertaken to connect the local road network at Gympie and Stafford Roads to the Airport Link tunnel. The new Kedron Brook busway station (opposite the Emergency Services Complex) will also incorporate a kiss 'n' ride facility and enhanced pathway connections.
The Airport Link Operations Centre (ALOC), at the corner of Stafford and Gympie Roads, will incorporate the Tollroad Control Centre providing 24-hour surveillance and safe operation of the Airport Link toll road.
