Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey has accused Brisbane City Council of neglecting Western suburbs residents in their go-slow approach to upgrades for Jindalee’s Centenary Bridge and Indooroopilly’s Walter Taylor Bridge.

The RACQ told Fairfax Media on Monday both bridges must be duplicated within 10 years to stop adding “billions of dollars to the city’s congestion costs.”

Brisbane City Council has defended itself, saying they are awaiting the outcome of State government investigations into the feasibility of moving the bus station at Indooroopilly Shoppingtown closer to Indooroopilly train station.
