About the project

Council is upgrading one of Brisbane’s busiest road corridors.

Moggill Road and Coonan Street are major arterial roads in Brisbane. They link the outer west and south-western suburbs to the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD).

The roads previously intersected at a roundabout in Indooroopilly. The intersection caters for high traffic volumes and experiences significant congestion in peak hour periods with more than 55,000 vehicles using the intersection each day.  

The Moggill Road corridor upgrade will alleviate congestion and improve safety for road users. It will also ensure the intersection can cater for future traffic demands.

In 2019, we asked the local community and stakeholders for feedback on two design options for improving the intersection. The overwhelming consensus favoured the construction of an overpass. 

What we're delivering

Building an overpass

A new overpass will take Coonan Street over Moggill Road, allowing traffic on Moggill Road to flow freely.

Connecting roads

We’re upgrading the existing Moggill Road service road to connect the Coonan Street overpass with Moggill Road.

Changing access at Keating Street

Removing the right turn in and out of Keating Street will help to improve safety.

Changing access at Payne Street

Removing the left turn in will improve safety and traffic flow on Moggill Road.

Closing Nelson Parade

We’re closing Nelson Parade at Moggill Road due to poor sight lines.

Building new shared paths

We’re providing shared paths for walkers and riders through the project area.

Retaining left turn access

We’re retaining left turn access from Moggill Road into Stamford Road.

Video: Indooroopilly Roundabout Upgrade

The fly-through video shows an aerial view with animations of Indooroopilly to highlight where Moggill Road and Coonan Street connect, labelling this as the location of the Indooroopilly roundabout upgrade. The video shows the Brisbane city centre in a north-eastern direction.

The fly-through then shows an animation of an arrow travelling north along Moggill Road under the underpass inbound to the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD). The video then shows an animation of an arrow travelling north along Moggill Road turning right onto the overpass and down onto Coonan Street. Next the video shows an animation of an arrow travelling north along Moggill Road turning right onto the overpass then turning left mid-way across the overpass into Indooroopilly Central.

The fly-through then shows an animation of pop-up labels to display that the existing crossing will be relocated to Moggill Road adjacent to Stamford Parade. Another label then shows that Stamford Parade will maintain left in and left out access.

The fly-through then shows an animation of an arrow travelling along Coonan Street turning left onto Moggill Road travelling outbound from the Brisbane city centre. The video then shows an animation of an arrow travelling from Coonan Street onto the overpass then turning right onto Moggill Road travelling inbound toward the CBD. Next the video shows an animation of an arrow travelling from Coonan Street onto the overpass and turning right mid-way across the overpass down to Indooroopilly Central.

The fly-through video changes its aerial view with animations of Indooroopilly to show the CBD in a south-west direction.

The fly-through video shows an animation of an arrow travelling outbound from the CBD along Moggill Road under the underpass and continuing along Moggill Road. The video then shows an animation of an arrow travelling outbound from the Brisbane city centre along Moggill Road then veering left to continue along Coonan Street. Next the video shows an animation of an arrow travelling outbound from the CBD along Moggill Road before veering left onto Coonan Street before making another left turn into Indooroopilly Central. The fly-through then shows an animation of an arrow travelling outbound from the Brisbane city centre along Moggill Road under the underpass then making a left turn onto Stamford Parade.

The fly-through video changes its aerial view with animations of Indooroopilly to show the CBD to the west.

Animations are used to show where traffic lights will be installed in three separate locations. These locations include on Coonan Street outside Indooroopilly Central before the onramp to the overpass; at the top of the overpass at the intersection of the Moggill Road Service Road and Coonan Street; and when turning left outbound from Stamford Parade.

The fly-through video then shows animated pop-up labels to display the first two entrances into Indooroopilly Central on Coonan Road travelling outbound from the CBD are entrance only and the third is exit only. The video then shows animated dotted lines and a pop-up label to display a left in and left out access from Keating Street onto Coonan Street.

The fly-through video shows an animated pop-up label to display that the bus stop has been relocated to Moggill Road before the overpass when travelling inbound to the CBD. Another label and dotted lines then display that Stamford Parade will maintain a left in and left out access. Another label then shows that the existing crossing will be relocated to be situated on Moggill Road adjacent to Stamford Parade. Next the fly-through video shows an animation of dotted lines along the outside lane of Moggill Road to indicate a dedicated bike lane.

Video: Indooroopilly roundabout upgrade

The fly-through video shows a ground level perspective of the completed Indooroopilly roundabout upgrade project.  The video shows Moggill Road with the Brisbane city centre in a north-eastern direction.

The video shows pedestrians walking along the shared path on Moggill Road and crossing a slip lane from Coonan Street onto Moggill Road via a signalised intersection.

The video also shows cyclists using the shared path in this location.

The video then moves across the signalised intersection and follows the shared path adjacent to Moggill Road under the newly constructed Coonan Street overpass.  The video shows decorative screening on the overpass and landscaping adjacent to the shared path.

The video then continues along the shared path as it heads in a southerly direction to Coonan Street adjacent to Indooroopilly Central Shopping Centre.  The video shows a signalised pedestrian crossing on Coonan Street to allow shared path users to cross over to the footpath adjacent to the shopping centre and continue south on Coonan Street.

The video continues to follow the shared path.  A dedicated slip lane from Coonan Street to Indooroopilly Central Shopping Centre is on the left of screen.  The video continues onto to the bridge deck.  On the bridge deck there are four lanes divided by a concrete median.  Two lanes allow vehicles to turn from Moggill Road across the bridge and continue on Coonan Street, the other two lanes allow vehicles heading into Brisbane City to turn right onto Moggill Road via a signalised intersection.  There is a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists on the bridge.

The angle of the camera then turns around to pan back over the bridge in a southbound direction.

Construction updates and work notifications

Video: Indooroopilly Roundabout Upgrade Update 

The fly-through drone video shows an aerial view of the current construction activities at the intersection of Moggill Road and Coonan Street, Indooroopilly.

The drone video is in a northerly direction and it shows vehicles heading inbound (north) on Moggill Road; vehicles travelling outbound (west) on new lanes under the overpass and vehicles travelling over the overpass in both directions.

The drone footage then shows a wider shot of the construction area facing east.  It shows the overpass in the foreground and Indooroopilly Central Shopping Centre in the background.

The drone footage then shows vehicle movements from Coonan Street turning left (westbound) onto a newly constructed slip lane where they merge with Moggill Road outbound.

The footage then moves to ground level.  In car footage shows the point of view for a vehicle travelling outbound on Moggill Road and travelling under the overpass.
