Rothwell Intersection Upgrade

Construction has commenced to convert the existing roundabout at Deception Bay Road and Anzac Avenue to a signalised intersection including signalised pedestrian crossings, shared user path and designated cyclist lanes.

The State Member for Redcliffe, Yvette D'Ath said the Deception Bay Road and Anzac Avenue are major urban arterial roads with over 50,000 vehicles travelling through the intersection daily.

The upgrade will bring many benefits to local residents and those travelling through to the wider region, including decreased travel times for motorists by easing congestion and increasing capacity, providing safe access to Rothwell station precinct and increased safety and reliability for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.�

Detailed design has been finalised after community consultation was conducted in April 2016. The design and construction of the Rothwell Intersection Upgrade (RIU) is estimated to cost $37.5 million with the Queensland Government contributing $22.6 million, the Moreton Bay Regional Council $3.2 million and the Australian Government up to $11.7 million.

The RIU will allow safe access to Rothwell station through Stubbins Street for motorists driving from Deception Bay Road. The Stubbins Street access road (the Gynther Road/Anzac Avenue intersection) is due to open in late 2016 with the overall project scheduled to take approximately 12 months to complete, weather and construction conditions permitting. Standard construction work will occur between 6.30am and 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday. Work will include day and night activities to deliver the upgrade on time and minimise the impacts during peak travel periods. When night works are required, the upgrade team will inform nearby residents in advance.
