About the project
Council is pleased to announce that construction of the Hoyland Street upgrade, between Kluver Street and Bracken Ridge Road at Bracken Ridge is now complete. Construction started in early January 2021 and works were successfully completed five months ahead of schedule in August 2021. Additionally, the project has been completed within budget.
This project was jointly funded by Council’s Better Roads for Brisbane program, and the Australian Government’s Urban Congestion Fund. The project forms part of a joint $500 million commitment to deliver congestion-busting projects and safety improvements across Brisbane.
This upgrade involved widening a 900m section of Hoyland Street (between Kluver Street and Bracken Ridge Road) from two lanes (one each way) to four lanes (two each way) to tie in with the Bracken Ridge Road, Hoyland Street and Strathpine Road corridor.
This upgrade improves safety for all road users as well as improving the road network efficiency.
The project will now enter a defects period, in which Council will work with the Contractor to maintain and manage any defects and minor works such as landscaping as well as demobilising the site compound.
Project features
Project features
The project involved:
- increasing Hoyland Street, between Kluver Street and Bracken Ridge Road, from the current two-lane configuration to four lanes (two lanes in each direction)
- installing approximately 800 metres of guardrail along the corridor
- removing approximately 200 street trees with an offset planting of approximately 400 trees within the project vicinity and local area
- upgrading the street lighting to LED along the corridor
- landscaping reinstatement
- road resurfacing and line marking.
Pedestrian and cycling facilities at the Kluver Street and Hoyland Street intersection were improved by extending the traffic signal coverage to provide traffic signal protection at the existing northern and eastern left-slip lanes. These changes will improve connectivity to already established active transport facilities along the Hoyland Street corridor.
