Works have begun on the $25 million Oxenford M1 upgrade in Queensland, marking the next stage of the state government’s $2.3 billion program of M1 works.
According to Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey, the project will cut travel times through the Oxenford Interchange by 40 per cent.
“We’re widening the interchange, adding new lanes to reduce queueing, and simplifying the sequence of lights to make it faster for motorists to get through the interchange and on and off the M1,” Mr. Bailey said.
“These changes will mean drivers won’t have to queue dangerously on the M1 to get onto Oxenford-Tamborine Road.”
Works will be completed by GHD, who were awarded the construction contract in July 2018.
Construction is expected to to take 12 months, weather permitting.
