“We thank you in advance for your patience during these works while the new on-ramp opens and the old on-ramp closes,” the spokesperson said.

The first new off-ramp constructed as part of Transurban Queensland’s $512 million Logan Enhancement Project, opening the Logan Motorway westbound off-ramp to Mount Lindesay Highway southbound was a project milestone was completed recently and opened to traffic.
TQ group executive Sue Johnson said opening the Logan Motorway westbound off-ramp to Mount Lindesay Highway southbound was a project milestone.
“I have been really impressed with the project’s pace since major construction started in mid-2017. It’s great to see the benefits starting to be realised with the opening of this new off-ramp,” Ms Johnson said.
“The project is delivering more than roads.”
In July, work starts on a new dedicated 2km shared bike and pedestrian path over Logan Motorway at the Mt Lindesay Highway and Beaudesert Road interchange, providing an important connection between Illaweena Street to the north and Acacia Street to the south.
“Delivering this missing link between two existing shared paths is another terrific example of how the Logan Enhancement Project benefits all road users.”
TQ general manager delivery Ian Sinclair said construction was pushing ahead despite a wet first quarter of the year.
“The community will soon see several new ramps open to traffic including the Mount Lindesay Highway northbound on-ramp to the Logan Motorway westbound and the new Logan Motorway eastbound on-ramp from Beaudesert Road southbound,” Mr Sinclair said.
“Construction is about 30 per cent of the way there with more than a million construction hours worked to date.
“On average, 600 people sign on to work each day, dedicated to getting on with the job of upgrading our network to provide better roads for our customers.”
Major construction is underway with the project anticipated to be completed in 2019.
TQ recommends motorists keep updated about traffic changes during construction and plan ahead.
