With only 32 general traffic lanes across the Brisbane River, all of which are nearly at capacity during peak hour, the need to fix the fundamental flaws in our road network has become critical.

Currently, Brisbane's road network forces motorists and freight vehicles into inner-city suburbs, so much so that almost two-thirds of traffic in these suburbs is actually travelling to destinations outside the CBD.

To ensure Brisbane remains accessible we need:

• a bypass system that directs cross-city traffic, including heavy haulage vehicles, around the city
• more traffic lanes across the Brisbane River
• a better road network that connects existing motorways and major arterial roads.

With congestion now at a level where a single incident can impact the entire road network, we need the TransApex ringroad to keep Brisbane moving - now and in the future.
