It bypasses Brisbane in order to provide easier access between the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. It runs from the M2 Logan Motorway in Drewvale (near Browns Plains) to the Gympie Arterial Road in Bald Hills. At the interchange with the Pacific Motorway at Eight Mile Plains (Pacific Motorway exit 16), its original terminus pre-1998, the route number changes from M2 (Logan Motorway - Pacific Motorway) to M1 (Pacific Motorway - Bruce Highway (Gympie Arterial Road)). The Gateway Bridge is part of the Gateway Motorway and the Motorway provides access to the Port of Brisbane, Brisbane Airport and Brisbane Entertainment Centre. The motorway is currently being upgraded to 6 lanes from Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road to Wynnum Road and 8 Lanes from Wynnum Road to the Gateway Bridge. The Gateway Bridge crossing will be upgraded to 12 lanes by building a duplicate bridge immediately downstream to the existing structure. This new bridge will carry two way traffic upon its opening in 2010, the original re-opening in 2011 for northbound traffic after refurbishment. North of the bridge the motorway will be routed further east from its current placement and will include an additional access road to Brisbane Airport. Four lanes of this upgrade will open in 2009 (since been completed in July 2009), the remaining two in 2010. Manual toll booths have been removed and has replaced with electronic tags for all vehicles using the motorway to cross the Gateway Bridges. In addition to the above, the southern section of the motorway (Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Rd to Pacific Motorway) will be upgraded to 6 lanes as part of the M1-Upgrade (currently under proposal). This work is expected to be completed in late 2009 or early 2010. [edit] ExitsNotes Distances are approximate and rounded. Measured to ends of Gateway Bridge. [edit] See also
