Early works to begin on the $40 million upgrades at Waterford—Tamborine Road

Early works will start in the coming weeks as part of a major upgrade on the Waterford—Tamborine Road south of Logan Village.

Main Roads and Road Safety Minister Mark Bailey said the works program will be completed before Christmas.

“As part of our commitment to improving road safety, four key intersections will be upgraded and 2.6km of road will be duplicated between Hotz Road and Anzac Avenue,” Mr Bailey said.

“These early works involve the relocation of services, fencing and clearing works in preparation for major construction.”

Member for Logan Linus Power said he was pleased to see the upgrade progressing.

“This is an important project that will see improvements to safety, and will support an average of 76 direct jobs over the life of the project,” Mr Power said.

“Major construction is scheduled to begin in mid-next year and is estimated to take a year and half to complete.

“Beginning at Anzac Avenue on the southern outskirts of Logan Village, the upgrade will travel south to Hotz Road and will include a centre median traffic island to separate north and southbound lanes.

“Safer intersections will be constructed at Anzac Avenue, Stockleigh Road, Pioneer Drive and Hotz Road.”

“In order to achieve the best outcomes for residents and businesses in the Logan Village area and surrounds it is vital that we work together,” Mr Power said.

“I want to thank residents and motorists for their patience while these early works are being carried out.”
