Motorists travelling along the Bruce Highway and Pacific Motorway this Easter will be able to get more than fuel and food when they stop at the BP travel centres at Coomera and Caboolture.
Main Roads Minister Warren Pitt said Queensland Motorways would establish “InfoPoints” at the two centres from Thursday (20 March) to give motorists the latest information on E toll, the Gateway Upgrade Project and free-flow tolling.
Mr Pitt said the Queensland Motorways InfoPoints, which would be in place for at least a year, would help motorists find out more about developments on the Gateway and Logan motorways.
“There are exciting things happening on our road network – from the huge developments under way as part of the Gateway Upgrade Project, to the move towards a safer and more efficient traffic system with free-flow tolling,” Mr Pitt said.
“We are excited to share our progress with motorists, and the InfoPoints give us the opportunity to communicate with them in a whole new way,” he said.
Queensland Motorways CEO Phil Mumford said the InfoPoints would provide the public with access to the websites of etoll.com.au, gatewayupgradeproject.com.au (gup.com.au) and qldmotorways.com.au through computer touch screens.
“They can also view the animated Gateway Upgrade Project drive-through, and static information boards and plasma screens running various corporate DVDs,” Mr Mumford said.
In addition to the InfoPoints, motorists can also visit one of Queensland Motorways’ customer service centres, located at Murarrie and Heathwood, or visit www.qldmotorways.com.au for more information.
