A combination of federal and state funding will help pay for key road projects in the Australian state of Queensland. In all some US$381.2 million (A$500 million) will pay for five major road projects in the state. One of the biggest projects involves widening the Pacific Motorway between Mudgeeraba to Varsity Lakes to six lanes. This work will help boost capacity, reducing delays for drivers using the route. In addition, the work also includes building additional lanes on the Pacific Motorway where it meets the Gateway Motorway, a stretch of road noted for delays at peak periods at present. The Pacific Motorway will also be improved with additional lanes between Varsity Lakes and Tugun. Other projects planned will see improvements to the Mount Lindsay highway between Browns Plains and Beaudesert as well as the construction of the Walkerston Bypass. Work on the projects will commence later in 2017.
