South East Queensland motorists will benefit from significant improvements to safety and traffic flow through Yatala with the upgrade of the Yatala South (Exit 41) Interchange now complete.
Two of three northern Gold Coast M1 interchange upgrades are now finished, with work ongoing to upgrade Exit 49 at Pimpama.
To increase capacity and improve network efficiency, a new bridge was built over the M1, and the roundabouts on both sides of the interchange were upgraded to traffic signals.
The on-ramps and off-ramps have been realigned and lengthened to improve safety by reducing queuing back onto the M1.
Pedestrians and bike riders will also benefit from the upgrade, with new and improved active transport facilities included throughout the interchange.
A new pedestrian bridge has also been built across Halfway Creek to provide safe pedestrian access along Lahrs Road and connect with existing facilities.
The $82 million Yatala South (Exit 41) safety project was jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland government, which each contributing $41 million.
