PROJECT HISTORY

2019 The 2019-20 Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program indicated $181 million was expected to be spend by FY2022-23, however, the 2020-21 Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program delayed this spending.
Dec 2020 The 2020-21 Queensland Budget allocated $62 million to the project over the next four years, and indicated $938 million has been committed beyond the forward estimates. This indicates the project has been delayed beyond previous estimates.
Dec 2023 The Queensland Government announced a revised total estimated cost for the project of $1.3 billion.
Sep 2024 The Queensland Government called for Expressions of Interest for both major contracts as part of the Gateway to Bruce Upgrade (G2BU) project, closing on 8 October. The project will be delivered through a Design and Construct contract, with an Early Contractor Involvement process.
