Work has been completed on the $10.9 million Wynnum Road and Hemmant-Tingalpa Road intersection upgrade.
It was designed to improve safety and traffic flow, with the introduction of new traffic lights, signalised pedestrian crossings, new and upgraded footpaths and kerb ramps, and changes to the intersection layout.
Dedicated turn pockets have been constructed on all approaches to separate turning vehicles from through traffic, and there are also signalised U-turn facilities on Wynnum Road.
A new section of footpath along Hemmant-Tingalpa Road will improve access for walking and riding, with upgraded kerb ramps enhancing accessibility.
The works were undertaken in early 2025 to support increased high traffic volumes and wait times at the intersection, which made it difficult for motorists to safely exit and enter Hemmant-Tingalpa Road.
The project was designed to reflect community feedback received during consultation, and was funded by the Federal Government and the Brisbane City Council.
