Nearly $2 billion is being spent on expanding the Gateway Motorway and Bruce Highway
A Design and Construct contract has awarded to deliver significant upgrades to the Gateway Motorway and Bruce Highway.
The contract has been awarded to Gateway Connect Joint Venture (GCJV) – a partnership between CPB, BMD and Georgiou, with designers GHD and BG&E.
The Gateway to Bruce Upgrade (G2BU) will tackle long-standing congestion and safety issues on one of North Brisbane’s busiest transport corridors.
The G2BU project combines the delivery of the $1 billion Gateway Motorway, Bracken Ridge to Pine River upgrade and the $948 million Bruce Highway (Brisbane – Gympie) Gateway Motorway to Dohles Rocks Road upgrade (Stage 1).

These works are jointly funded, with the Australian government investing more than $1.5 billion and the Queensland government investing $389.6 million.
The upgrade involves providing additional lanes on the Gateway Motorway, improving the motorway curve at Bracken Ridge, replacing the Wyampa Road overpass and upgrades to the Bruce Highway interchange with Gateway Motorway and Gympie Arterial Road, south of the Pine River.
“CPB Contractors continues to deliver complex infrastructure that strengthens Queensland’s transport network and supports community resilience,” ACS Group and HOCHTIEF CEO and CIMIC Group executive chairman Juan SantamarĂa says.
“This upgrade will enhance safety, reduce congestion, and futureproof the corridor against climate and population pressures – delivering long-term value for Queenslanders.”
