About the project

The Monier Road and Bellwood Street intersection accommodates approximately 15,000 vehicles per day, making it an important junction in Brisbane’s road network to connect to the Centenary Highway, Oxley Road and the Ipswich Motorway.

We identified the need to upgrade the intersection to improve safety for people walking, riding and driving through the area.

Now complete, the project has improved the overall safety and operation of the intersection with the installation of traffic lights. Safety and connectivity for people walking and riding has also been improved with the addition of controlled pedestrian crossings and two-metre-wide on-road bike lanes along Monier Road.

The Monier Road and Bellwood Street intersection upgrade project was jointly funded by Brisbane City Council and the Australian Government's Roads to Recovery program.

Project details

The project involved:

  • installing traffic lights at the intersection
  • providing two right-turn pockets on Bellwood Street, north and southbound
