BUNDAMBA MP Lance McCallum says the newly completed $400 million upgrade to the Ipswich Motorway will ease congestion for workers being drawn to the city’s eastern suburbs, with a huge new Coles warehouse on the way expected to create more than 500 jobs.
The upgrade to the motorway between Rocklea and Darra, which sees 85,000 vehicles drive through every day, has been completed with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk officially opening it this week.
After years of work and 1.5 million work hours, the project widened a three kilometre section between Granard and Oxley roads from four to six lanes, with seven new bridges built over the Oxley Creek floodplain.
