Latest update

Brisbane City Council has finalised the design for the Wynnum Road and Hemmant-Tingalpa Road intersection upgrade.

Early works will start in January 2025 with main civil works scheduled to start from mid-2025, weather and site conditions permitting.

About the project

The Wynnum Road and Hemmant-Tingalpa Road intersection is currently an unsignalised intersection and operates with a give way sign on Hemmant-Tingalpa Road, giving priority to motorists travelling along Wynnum Road.

Between 2016 and 2023, this intersection recorded 10 crashes, 9 of which resulted in medical treatment or hospitalisation. High traffic volumes and extended wait times experienced at the intersection contribute to motorists misjudging safe gaps in traffic when turning into and out of Hemmant-Tingalpa Road.

To address safety concerns and improve travel time reliability, we are upgrading the intersection by installing traffic signals to control all movements at the intersection. To improve accessibility and connectivity for people walking and riding, we will also be installing signalised pedestrian crossings and new footpaths. These changes will improve the overall operation of the intersection, making it safer and easier for all road users.

This upgrade is jointly funded by the Australian Government as part of the Roads to Recovery Program and Brisbane City Council.

Project features and benefits

Below are the proposed features to be included as part of this project.

Installing new traffic lights with signalised crossing facilities, to fully control all movements through the intersection and improve safety for all road users.
Modifying the centre traffic islands on Wynnum Road and constructing dedicated turn pockets on all approaches to the intersection to separate turning vehicles from through traffic.
Installing a new path along Hemmant-Tingalpa Road to improve connectivity for people walking and riding.
Installing a dedicated pocket with a signalised U-turn provision for vehicles travelling in both directions along Wynnum Road.
Upgrading footpaths and kerb ramps to enhance accessibility and connectivity for people walking and riding.

The intersection upgrade will:

improve safety for all road users
improve intersection operation
improve connectivity for people walking and riding
improve travel time reliability.

Early works

Early works to relocate essential public utility infrastructure will start in January 2025. These works will be undertaken at night, when traffic volumes are lowest. Night works are scheduled from Sunday to Thursday, between 7pm and 5am.

Impacted properties will be notified at least 48 hours prior to any interruption taking place as part of the works.

Project timing

Project introduction – late 2023
Detailed design – late 2024
Early works – early 2025
Start of construction – mid-2025
