- The $95 million Mount Lindesay Highway upgrade is now complete, delivering a safer, four‑lane highway that eases congestion and improves daily journeys for locals, commuters and freight.
- Delivered on time and on budget, in partnership with the Australian Government, the project supports Jimboomba's growth with upgraded intersections, improved school‑area safety and better connections for people walking and riding.
- With all four lanes now open, Queenslanders are already experiencing improved traffic flow and safer intersections.
A major upgrade of the Mount Lindesay Highway in Jimboomba is now complete, marking a significant milestone for one of South East Queensland's fastest‑growing communities.
The $95 million project, delivered on time and on budget by the Albanese and Crisafulli Governments, has transformed a 1.5‑kilometre stretch of the highway between Johanna Street and South Street, improving safety, easing congestion and supporting the region's continued growth.
Once a two‑lane bottleneck, this section of the Mount Lindesay Highway has been widened to four lanes, boosting capacity along a critical commuter and freight corridor that thousands of locals rely on every day.
At the centre of the upgrade is a new southbound bridge over the former rail corridor, delivering safer, more reliable travel through Jimboomba while separating vehicles from pedestrians and cyclists.
Major intersection upgrades at Johanna Street and Tamborine Street, and at South Street and Brisbane Street, are already improving traffic flow and reducing conflict points.
Local access has also been redesigned to lift safety where it matters most, including a new northbound on‑ramp via Brisbane Street near Jimboomba State School.
New walking and cycling infrastructure, including a shared underpass along the historic rail corridor, is helping locals move around more safely and comfortably every day.
Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King said the project reflects the Australian Government's commitment to investing in infrastructure that supports growing communities.
Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King said the completion of works marks a significant milestone.
"The Mount Lindesay Highway upgrade at Jimboomba is now open to traffic, marking an important milestone in delivering the infrastructure Queensland communities rely on," Minister King said.
"The upgrade improves safety, reduces congestion and strengthens connections for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists."
Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads Brent Mickelberg said the completed upgrade was already making a real difference for locals and businesses.
"This upgrade is about restoring safety and delivering a more resilient road for Jimboomba and surrounding communities," Minister Mickelberg said.
"With safer intersections, improved traffic flow and better connections for people walking and cycling, locals can now see and feel the difference this investment has made.
"This upgrade is just another way we're delivering on our plan for Queensland's future, by delivering the roads and infrastructure needed for our growing population."
Federal Senator for Queensland Corinne Mulholland said the upgrade will help Queenslanders get home sooner.
"As one of Queensland's busiest highways, this key infrastructure investment will reduce travel time for over 25,000 vehicles each day," Senator Mulholland said.
"I am looking forward to seeing the long-term safety benefits this project will have on commuters across the Jimboomba region."
State Member for Scenic Rim Jon Kraus said the infrastructure will meet the needs of the community.
"For a growing community that relies on the Mount Lindesay Highway every day to get to work and school, this project delivers safer, smoother trips and takes real pressure off one of our busiest roads," Mr Kraus said.
All four lanes opened to traffic by Mid April 2026. Minor works, including line marking and electrical systems will wrap up in the coming weeks with occasional out-of-hours lane closures required.
