The Queensland Government has protected more than 30km of corridor as part of the Bruce Highway Western Alternative (BHWA) project. This early planning work will help to identify and protect a corridor for the future Moreton Motorway.

The future Moreton Motorway will extend between Elimbah and Bald Hills. It is a key long-term project to support forecast population growth and connect communities to homes, jobs, education, and essential services.

The future motorway will improve the resilience of the existing transport network, reduce congestion on the Bruce Highway, and help maintain the Bruce Highway’s role as Queensland's primary long-distance travel and freight route.

Planning, community consultation, and corridor protection for the future Moreton Motorway is progressing in stages. Stages 1, 2, and 4 between Elimbah and Narangba are complete. Stage 3, between Narangba and Bald Hills is the next focus for corridor protection, and early feedback continues to be invited.

Staged construction of the future Moreton Motorway is not expected to commence for many years. Protecting the corridor early helps ensure land is available when needed and provides long-term certainty for the community and industry.
