Pavement repair and resurfacing works Pacific Motorway, Eight Mile Plains

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) advises that pavement repair and resurfacing works will be undertaken at the below locations:

• Pacific Motorway between the Tora Street overpass, Upper Mount Gravatt and Miles Platting Road overpasses, Eight Mile Plains.
• Logan Road exit ramp from the Pacific Motorway, Eight Mile Plains.

These works are being undertaken as part of TMR’s maintenance program to improve the road surface and enhance road safety for all road users.

While works are underway, detours will be required, please see details below.

Work activities

• Removal and replacement of asphalt.
• Reinstatement of temporary line marking.
• Final line marking.

Timing

• Works are scheduled to commence mid-March 2025 and are expected to take approximately six weeks to complete, construction and weather conditions permitting.
• Typical construction hours will be from 8pm to 5am, Sunday to Friday. Night works are required for road user safety and to avoid what would otherwise be extensive traffic queuing and disruption to the road network. While majority of the works will be undertaken at night, some Saturday or other out of hours works may be required.
• While works are underway, the below entry and exit ramps will be detoured as required between 9pm and 5am as follows:
  • Access to Logan Road via exit 14 ramp from the Pacific Motorway:
    • Southbound traffic on the Pacific Motorway will take exit 19, turn right onto Rochedale Road, right onto Springwood Road, left onto Logan Road, left onto Lexington Road and continue straight onto the Pacific Motorway.
    • From here traffic will take exit 14 onto Logan Road and head in the respective direction.
  • Access to the Pacific Motorway entry ramp from Logan Road:
    • Traffic will continue southbound on Logan Road, use the U-turn facility to turn back northbound on Logan Road and take the Pacific Motorway exit ramp towards the city.
    • From here traffic will take the Gaza Road exit ramp, turn right onto Gaza Road, turn right onto Messines Ridge Road then take the Pacific Motorway entry ramp in the respective direction.
  • Access to Holmead Road from Logan Road:
    • Northbound traffic on Logan Road will continue straight, turn right onto Newnham Road, turn left onto Link Street, turn left onto Logan Road southbound then left onto Holmead Road.
    • Southbound traffic on Logan Road will continue straight, turn left onto Miles Platting Road and turn left onto Holmead Road.
    • Southbound traffic from the Pacific Motorway will turn right on Logan Road, left onto Miles Platting Road and left onto Holmead Road.
• Final line marking works to improve the reflectivity and longevity of the road will take place approximately six weeks after the completion of works to allow for adequate curing.

Expected impacts

• Changed traffic conditions: Temporary traffic changes will be in effect including traffic detours, road shoulder closures, lane closures with traffic control, changes to traffic flow, speed reductions and short-term traffic disruptions. Please allow extra time when planning your travel and follow the directions of roadside signage and traffic controllers.
• Temporary construction noise: Nearby residents and businesses may experience short term increases in noise, dust, and odour during the works. Reversing beepers and flashing lights will be used on vehicles for safety.

On completion, TMR officers will continue to review the site for up to three months. During this time TMR will assess the work undertaken for longevity and quality. In some cases, TMR may need to do further work at the location to rectify any defects.

Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on the local community and surrounds.

TMR appreciates your patience and cooperation while these important works are carried out.
