Previously unreleased traffic modelling also reveals the areas expected to have a “disbenefit” from the Gympie Road Bypass Tunnel.
New residents in the housing developments north of Brisbane are being blamed for suburban traffic snarls and now stand to benefit the most from a planned $10 billion tunnel – if they pay the tolls.show the people who live and work closest to the project face further delays, as the 9.1-kilometre tunnel would draw in traffic from across the north-side and add to local congestion.
While NBI told the government the residents ended up largely supportive of the project, the full report of the consultation shows they also wanted better public transport – for example, council’s related proposal for anTraffic modelling completed in March and released under the Right to Information Act this week shows the tunnel would, as expected, ease congestion on Gympie Road by funnelling long-distance travel underground.
“Due to increased congestion at the southern portal in the AM peak, some nearby origins experience a small disbenefit with travel time to the CBD,” the modelling found. The modelling assumed other upgrades would be completed before the tunnel opened – and still identified bottlenecks along the north-south corridor.
While the Liberal National Party has expressed support for the project at both a state and council level, the Crisafulli government may be left to decide whether to proceed – and at what cost.
