Construction begins on $60M Cleveland-Redland Bay Road, QLD

The first sod has been turned on the next stage of the $60 million Cleveland-Redland Bay Road upgrade in Queensland.

Works are expected to support 99 jobs in Redlands during the COVID-19 recovery. The project recently received an additional $15 million in funding as part of the state government’s $1 billion road stimulus package.

Member for Redlands Kim Richards said the signalised intersection and road widening through the Anita Street intersection would tackle congestion and safety issues on the road for families, businesses and the 200 households living on Anita Street.

“We are also improving safety for all users by installing a pedestrian crossing, upgrading footpaths and bike paths, and creating better links to public transport,” she said.

Richards said while works get underway at Anita Street, the Queensland Government would get on with the necessary leg work for duplicating the road north of the intersection like planning.

“It’s only the start of our plan for Cleveland Redland Bay Road duplication, busting congestion, improving safety and creating jobs on Redland roads.”

Works will begin with site clearing, setting up site offices and carrying out drainage works.

“This $60 million program will not only make sure we have better roads in Redlands, but also create a steady pipeline in construction jobs as we unite and recover from COVID-19,” Richards says.
