Upgrade of New Cleveland Road & Caladium Street

Brisbane City Council is upgrading the intersection at New Cleveland Road and Caladium Street to reduce congestion and increase road safety and accessibility for all road users.

New Cleveland Road was identified as a corridor requiring improvements to reduce congestion and improve safety under the Gumdale Area Traffic Study 2010.

The intersection of New Cleveland Road and Caladium Street caters for a large volume of local commuter traffic and commercial vehicles travelling to the nearby Gateway Motorway.

Council is undertaking the following works:

  • constructing a new right hand turn pocket on New Cleveland Road

  • constructing a pedestrian crossing and refuge point on New Cleveland Road

  • installing splitter islands, kerb build-outs and pram ramps on Caladium Street

  • relocating the existing bus stop on Caladium Street

  • installing kerb and channel

  • providing footpath improvements

  • improving street lighting

  • removing six trees to facilitate the intersection upgrade.
