A $6 Billion Gympie Road Bypass Tunnel for Brisbane's North? | Talking Tactics with Mel Pikos

In a significant development for Brisbane's northern suburbs, a $35 million study will be led by the Queensland Investment Corporation to explore the potential construction of a toll tunnel connecting Kedron and Carseldine. This ambitious project, spanning about 7 kilometres, promises to reduce congestion and improve connectivity by seamlessly linking the Bruce Highway to Legacy Way, Clem 7, M1, and Centenary Highway.
The study will assess technical, financial, and transportation aspects while considering the impact on public and active transport options in the corridor.
This study is looking at a highly contentious area of Brisbane’s northside known as the North West Transport Corridor: an area that includes plenty of bushland and green space which has been set aside for decades for future surface-level transport developments. But there is increasing calls to protect this green space, rather than strip it away, and add new transport developments underground via tunnels. This isn’t even the first tunnel proposal - a study was recently completed by the Brisbane City Council to look at a potential combined road and rail tunnel, with connections to similar points in this new study. What’s changed in this new study?
And finally, Suburban Futures and MODE Design have released images of what the Chermside suburb could become, if heavy through transport was diverted away via the tunnel, and the road reclaimed to become better utilised pedestrian friendly spaces that will enhance the area for businesses, residents and visitors.
Let’s take a look. Today we’re talking tactics.

If you're going to do this, don't waste the opportunity (they will) to put the capacity for HEAVY RAIL through as well and get RAIL to a new part of the wider city, in an affordable and timely way!

@harrisonchapman7091 9 ай бұрын

Not sure I agree with not looking into heavy rail, the tunnel is a great idea however the north west really lacks connectivity to the CBD. Another rail line will also help future proof the city. Smaller projects will just lead to more projects as Brisbane grows

A 10km bypass tunnel will have a circa $8 toll. If it dumps you onto the Airport Link, you are looking at circa $14 each way. So Gympie Road will still be busy, because a lot of people can't afford/justify to use the toll roads routinely.

They are currently doing extensive work to widen Gympie Rd to have dedicated bus lanes from Chermside to Kedron (north & southbound). Relocating a lot of underground infrastructure and narrowing footpaths. Definitely seems like a band-aid solution to fix the congestion and won't provide high speed transit due to the number of traffic lights. www.tmr.qld.gov.au/projects/northern-transitway

Yes! Go Mel!! 🎉😂 and to compliment a new underground train line to speed up train travel to the new sunny coast line. On the cross river rail line from exhibition station, with upgraded station at Albion, then underground towards the north such as Kedron, Chermside, Aspley train stations. Time to keep using those tunnel boring machines Brisbane needs a real underground.

I am not opposed to the new tunnel. Gympie Road is definitely a nightmare. My biggest issue is the repeated acknowledgement of Chermside being a major hub and the importance of public transport links…yet I live less than 5kms from Westfield Chermside and can’t travel there on public transport unless I take two buses which initially head in the complete wrong direction and take over 50 minutes one way. Review the public transport links and this too will reduce the number of cars on the road. I would much rather take public transport than drive and park.

It doesn't have to be either either! The north west transport corridor (along trouts road) can and should be used for public transport and not completely ignored because there's been some largely unused and ignored bushland growth in a narrow corridor in between houses. The whole idea of it was keeping it aside so it could be used for these exact purposes... The Gympie rd bypass is a great idea and should be done but so is developing the north west transport corridor for rail/metro use! There is next to no public transport along trouts rd, it would serve a large number of people and suburbs

It's too bad that the Brisbane Metro continuing on Gympie Road will not have a stop at The Prince Charles Hospital. TPCH employs >5000 people, to say nothing of the several hundred visitors and outpatients. TPCH is expanding massively as well. Previous Northern Busway extensions plans (From 2010-2012) had several options for small detour via TPCH. I see no reason why this couldn't be implemented with the Brisbane Metro in mind. The Princess Alexandra Hospital and Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital both have dedicated Busway stations that have proven massively popular with staff, patients and visitors alike. It would be a shame if the Northern Busway extension didn't go through TPCH.

It's great. Needed it 20 years ago! A7 tunnel also needed in south to connect Ipswich motorway link to Clem Jones ... that's the next bottleneck but much shorter. Toll is required obviously and most happy to pay. Key is keeping it affordable... say $3 to $5 each way. If saving 10 to 15 min at $8 or more then it's more than my hourly wage and doesn't make sense. If we need more private equity then offer a 50 year partnership. A tunnel is the only way. Cannot use green space anymore. And a tunnel means the Metro buses can be built on resectioned Gympie Rd. If heavy rail does become a thing and ppl use less cars, then the tunnel could converted to a rail line. Let's go!!!😊

Yes they should be building a free one under south bank so it hooks up with the go between bridge and ICB, it would have exits left to corro drive, and it could have tolled exits if you want to go under the river and enter into the CBD exits. Similar to how the riverside expressway operates now on Elizabeth and Margaret etc… discourage driving into CBD. Then, knock down the riverside expressway and return the entire north bank (not just queens wharf) to the people and developers to raise the funds to put it underground. Particularly if they’re make the Gabba Olympic park they need to remove the surface traffic it’s already a nightmare around Stanley/vulture/m3. Hmmm tunnel across to Toowong, well remember that was can do campbells last transapex desire for a east west tunnel like that but the people voted him out and legacy was was the last tunnel to be built in this city so it never got built (yet). Look back on Mel’s videos he had a video about demolishing the riverside expressway!

Run a tunnel from the Ipswich motorway at Archerfield, to the clem 7, then run it to Legacy way/ICB, taking traffic off the riverside expressway, then run it all the way under the Northwest transport corridor, then link it straight up to include the Bruce Highway Western Alternative at from Bald Hills to Caboolture West and then we can call it the M8 Motorway and we can have it as that Western Bypass.

Brisbanes traffic issues particularly on the Northside are because the Bjelke-Petersen government abandoned the Wilber Smith plan upon completion of the SE freeway which replace Logan Road as the southern arterial. Nothing was done on the Northside. The Northwest transport corridor (Everton Park to Carseldine ) remains unused. The current tunnels (Clem7, Airport Link and Legacy Way) roughly follow goals set out in the Wilber Smith plan. The only real alternative to a Gympie Road tunnel is a North East freeway.

The only real alternative is to stop stumbling around drunk in the dark from one Road Project to the next and to finally have a solid plan for Public Transport expansion.

A better use of money - and way less than $6 billion - would be creating a bypass around Albion (mainly Sandgate Road) like they did for Nundah. Albion already has a major train line and numerous developments planned or underway and taking the traffic off Sandgate Road (between the Frodsham Street intersection & the Albion Overpass) would allow Albion to become an inner-city neighbourhood that would attract people to want to live there. The potential is already there, it just needs the Council to fix the crazy roads in the area.

I think absolutely no. It would be much nicer to have a tunnel than that abomination Gympie Road, but Brisbane at this point shouldn't be building anymore major roads. Instead we should build a underground train line and expand the Brisbane Metro (with both already having plans for it). Why? Cars are unsustainable, they take up too much room and no matter how many more lanes we build traffic will not go away. Cars are bad for the environment, they are bad for cities and they are bad for us. Yes having a tunnel will funnel traffic away from the surface, but that 6 billion dollars could go to build that new train tunnel and completely transform Chermside as we know it; instead of just building more roads that we should be phasing out at this point. If we want Brisbane to be a world class green city, we need to point the middle finger at cars for a change and focus on building a world class public transport network.

I agree with you, but it will be hard. Automobile companies and city parking lots will do anything they can for it to be exclusive car dependent infrastructure. They are already kicking up a stink about the bus lanes because they say they get less business, but also, it’s because they fear that people will catch the bus and not buy their cars. Same with parking companies in the city. They want most people to drive so they make money from their inner city parking lots. We really do need to change our ways.

You do not need a car to drop your kid off to school, you can take them on the train or bus (or even just walk) until they are like 10 years old and can do it themselves. If we actually had a large well designed train network, you could easily take the train to places like Noosa; and if it had appropriate will power you could take a highspeed train there in just 20 minutes. You can walk to your local grocer and get food, as I do it all the time without issue. Cars are not essential to our lives besides for people far away from cities, or if you frequently have to haul heavy loads from A to B.

As much as no one likes traffic jams, building another tunnel will not solve congestion issues. Successive QLD governments having been going on a road/tunnel building rampage for the past 30 years and yet despite all of their efforts, we now have the worst congestion in the country. Meanwhile investment in better public transport has fallen way short of what it should be for a city of this size and now we have this perfect awful storm of congestion that will only grow worse if we build another road tunnel. Brisbane is on track to become the Los Angeles traffic capital of the country if we just merely continue to stay the course and build more road tunnels or roads and let public transport fall by the wayside. How about we actually invest in a busway to Bracken Ridge which will move way more people quicker rather than just defaulting to building another road for cars just to fill up. Or even better, heavy rail. We have the Trouts Rd corridor ripe for plucking by putting in another northern rail entrance/exit out of Brisbane which would be way more effective than a congestion causing new road. But then this is QLD and we’re not very smart…..as much as we like to make fun of Sydney and Melbourne, their transport systems run rings around Brisbane’s. Even Perth’s train network runs rings around ours and they have 15min train frequencies in off peak times, Brisbane still can’t even manage that. Building more roads is the cause of congestion, not the solution.

I think a tunnel under Gympie Rd is a no brainer. Toll or no toll. As it stands Gympie Rd I think is the worst road in Brisbane. It's Brisbane's version of Sydney's Parramatta Rd. A goat track at a stand still. If a tunnel isn't built, it's only going to get worse. Also extending the Brisbane metro to Chermside is another no brainer. I'd be all for heavy rail, but that'd probably mean forgoing the tunnel under Gympie Rd given the cost. So extending the metro makes more sense, and also means it can be easily extended in the future further north. Then perhaps once the tunnel is built, heavy rail underground to Chermside and beyond could be looked at.

Not Transurban. I am not entirely against privatisation but I think its unfair if taxpayers pay for a road to be built and then still have to pay to use it, especially when many are already under financial burden. If a private company like Transurban wants to operate it, then they should fund the tunnel's construction entirely themselves, without Government funding and taxpayers money. We need to stop hurting taxpayers wallets and going on a privatisation spending spree. I believe wasting taxpayers money on this kind of fuckery is the last thing we need right now.
