At the time, the tunneling machines were the biggest in

Its population is roughly equivalent to the populations of Tasmania , the Australian Capital Territory and

372-558: A tender because of risk-return factors. The losing bid by the Brisconnections consortium incorporated three lanes of traffic in each direction (as opposed to two lanes for the winning bid). With a price difference of A$ 20 million the decision to build a two-lane tunnel was criticised in some circles as short-sighted. Brisconnections won the tender for the Airport Link with a similarly aggressive bid that requires almost double

434-582: A two-year ramp-up period from opening at 60,000 to an annual average daily volume of 100,000 vehicles in 2012. No ramp-up had occurred by March 2011, and the volume of 34,075 peak remains below the minimum opening value estimated by Maunsell. The Maunsell forecast rises to 110,000 vehicles per day in 2014 and 135,000 in 2026. In contrast, traffic estimates produced as part of the Northern Link Supplementary EIS predict an average weekday traffic volume of 70 900 vehicles in 2014 and 92,300 in 2026 if

The promises included a tolling duration of 35 years, a toll of no more than $ 2.00 and a total cost of $ 1 billion. Due to lack of patronage, on 28 June 2010 River City Motorways announced reduced tolls of $ 2.00 per car from 1 July 2010 until 15 November 2010, hoping to increase traffic. On 1 January 2014, new owners Queensland Motorways increased all tolls. Transurban Queensland now operates

In 2020, one third of buses were powered by natural gas. By 2027 all gas powered buses will be phased out. Starting from 22 May 2023, two new battery powered Volvo BZLs have been introduced to The Spring Hill Loop Route 30. BT operates two models of tag axle buses , 8 Scania K310UB (delivered in early 2009, fleet numbers 1701 to 1708 and later renumbered as 5001 to 5008) and 149 Volvo B12BLE (delivered from 2010 to 2013, fleet numbers 5009 to 5157), both diesel-powered and delivered from 2009 on.

If Northern Link is built, these estimates fall to 65,900 in 2014 and 82,000 in 2026 (40% less than the Maunsell estimates). In the most recent Rivercity Motorway Financial Report it was noted that "if traffic assumptions over the entire concession period differed to estimates by +/-5% then the value in use would be impacted by +/-$ 99 million". After opening,

2232-519: The Queensland government established the Brisbane Tramways Trust, compulsorily acquiring the tram network and supporting infrastructure, then in 1925 creating the Brisbane City Council and transferring responsibility for the tram network to the council.

With a length of 4.8 km (3.0 mi) it was the longest road tunnel in the country until the 6.7 km (4.2 mi) Airport Link tunnel was completed. Construction bids were provided by a tender process in which RiverCity Motorway was selected over the Brisconnections consortium. The project commenced in September 2006, with tunneling using two very large tunnel boring machines completed by May 2009. The tunnel

2356-564: The companies buses. On 8 March 2024, a MAN 18.310, G1273, experienced loss of control on Edward Street in Brisbane CBD , causing it to veer off the road and onto the adjoining footpath before coming to rest against the exterior of the ANZAC Square Arcade building.

Florence completed tunnelling work on 16 April 2009, while Matilda completed tunneling work on 26 May 2009. There was some controversy over the environmental hazards that may be caused by construction and operation. In March 2005, local residents protested construction plans primarily due to

2542-468: The expected air pollution from exhaust ventilation stacks.

Transport for Brisbane operates services along dedicated busway infrastructure to avoid peak hour traffic congestion on roads closest to

By this time bridges had reached the final construction stages at the Northern Portal and the Morrissey Street bridge in Woolloongabba. In early December 2008, Florence had connected to

3100-452: The suburbs of Eight Mile Plains and Chermside . It runs every 15 minutes at peak times and 30 minutes off-peak, Monday to Friday. The route commenced on 22 March 2010 at a cost of $ 1.6 million per annum. It has decreased the journey time between Eight Mile Plains and Chermside, removing the need to transfer at Cultural Centre . The route completes the 30 kilometres (19 mi) cross-city journey in 39 minutes instead of up to 55 minutes via

3162-413: The traffic anticipated by government to be successful. One of the reasons for building the tunnel as a public-private partnership was that it should reduce Brisbane City Council's risks regarding construction and operation.

The eight speed cameras form Queensland's highest concentration of fixed speed detection devices and have been justified as

3286-513: The tunnel has been an economic failure due to incorrect predictions of traffic volume. RiverCity Motorway did not collect enough tolls to pay the interest on its $ 1.3 billion debt and went into receivership . With no hope of profit and therefore no dividend, RiverCity Motorways shares are now worthless, costing investors millions. On 25 February 2011, Rivercity Motorways was placed into receivership after being unable to pay interest on its debt. In December 2013, Queensland Motorways , operator of

During the toll-free period, traffic on the Pacific Motorway, Captain Cook Bridge, inner-city bypass, and Story Bridge decreased by over 10%, while traffic on Lutwyche Road increased by over 20%. After the toll was implemented, only the Story Bridge and Inner City Bypass showed a reduction (of around 5%) in traffic compared to before

3410-489: The tunnel. Toll prices for the tunnel were then increased every 1 July to be in line with other Brisbane toll roads. The tunnel was predicted by Rivercity Motorways to carry around 60,000 trips each day. Without a toll an average of 59,000 vehicles used the tunnel and when the reduced toll was payable around 20,000 vehicles used the tunnel. The lower traffic volumes resulted in the toll discount period being extended to 30 June 2010, and again until September. After

3720-501: Was in operation until 5 April 2010, followed by five weeks of reduced tolls. Rivercity Motorway claims the toll is the lowest per kilometre of similar tunnels in Australia. An image processing fee of 47 cents is levied on vehicles without an e-tag from 15 September 2010. The tolls are expected to increase on 1 January each year according with Brisbane CPI. These toll rates are as expensive as the Sydney Cross City Tunnel which

3782-536: Was limited to 5,000 participants, and runners ran through the tunnel twice, from Bowen Hills portal to the Woolloongabba portal, and back to Bowen Hills portal. Funds raised support the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation. Following the run, the public walk through the tunnel attracted 55,000 people. Starting on 22 March 2010, a new bus route 77 runs the tunnel at a cost of $ 1.6 million, linking Eight Mile Plains and Chermside , completing
