The $1.1 billion Gateway Upgrade North project is complete, with the official opening of the newly widened section of the Gateway Motorway held today.

Federal Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Alan Tudge, attended the commissioning of the project today and says the upgrade was a significant investment from the Australian Government to improve conditions for motorways and freight productivity in South East Queensland.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the gateway upgrade would help to unlock major economic growth in Queensland by busting congestion for motorists and vastly improving freight access to the Australia TradeCoast (ATC), Port of Brisbane and Brisbane Airport.
