Wynnum Road and Hemmant-Tingalpa Road intersection upgrade

We are pleased to share the concept design for the proposed upgrade to the Wynnum Road and Hemmant-Tingalpa Road intersection, in Tingalpa.

About the project

This intersection at Wynnum Road and Hemmant-Tingalpa Road is currently unsignalised 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 involving personal injury, 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 proposing to upgrade 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.

Have your say

We are seeking input from the community on the concept design. To provide your feedback on the concept design, contact the project team.

Feedback received from the community will be considered as we progress towards a final design. As more information becomes available, we will provide you and the local community with an update.

Whilst we receive your feedback, we are continuing to survey and investigate the local surrounds and are working with public utility providers to finalise the design of the underground services.
