About the project

A bypass tunnel between Kedron and Carseldine is being considered as a potential solution to ease congestion and reduce traffic on Gympie Road.

The proposed tolled tunnel could deliver a range of potential benefits including faster travel times in Brisbane’s northern region while also reducing pressure on Gympie Road and return the corridor to local road users, as well as public and active transport.

Current status

The Queensland Government has transferred responsibility for the north Brisbane bypass tunnel, from North Brisbane Infrastructure to the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR).

Realising the benefits of the proposed tunnel relies on effective integration with the broader northside of Brisbane’s transport network. This transition will enable a proposed solution to be considered in the context of the government’s broader capital works program.

From 1 July 2025, all work undertaken by North Brisbane Infrastructure for the Gympie Road Bypass Tunnel project will be transitioned to TMR.
