The Australian state of Queensland plans to upgrade its roads and has set a budget of US$3.24 billion (A$3.53 billion) for the task. Key projects will include safety improvements to 20 intersections, which have been identified as accident blackspots. A number of serious accidents have occurred at these intersections over the past three years. Among the intersections targeted for improvement is the off-ramp at the Fison Avenue West/Gateway Motorway in Brisbane. The improvement work forms part of a $1.725 billion project for the Gateway.
