Evening Closures for Logan Motorway and New Works on Ipswich Road Today

Morning Commute Overview

Today, Thursday, 26 March 2026, Brisbane commuters can expect a relatively steady morning peak, though significant infrastructure projects continue to reshape our major arteries. While the morning run remains clear of major new incidents at this hour, several long-term closures and new project commencements will affect your return journey and local neighborhood travel.

Major Motorway Alerts

Motorists using the southern and eastern corridors should prepare for evening disruptions as several maintenance programs reach their final night for the week:

• Logan Motorway: Starting from 8:00 pm tonight, the eastbound on-ramp from Boundary Road and Skepper Street will be fully closed. Additionally, eastbound lanes between Formation Street and Boundary Road will be restricted until 5:00 am Friday. Detours will be in place via local service roads.
• Gateway Motorway: The northbound off-ramp to Wynnum Road will see intermittent lane closures between 8:00 pm and 5:00 am. Heavy vehicle operators and late-shift workers should allow an extra 10 minutes for this exit.

City and Suburban Roadworks

Several new and ongoing projects are impacting local traffic flow today:

• Annerley: New roadworks are scheduled to commence today on Ipswich Road. These works are expected to continue through to late May, potentially impacting travel times during off-peak hours near the Cornwall Street intersection.
• Roma Street: As part of the Cross River Rail delivery, a section of the eastbound lane on Roma Street between Countess and Garrick streets is now closed. While vehicle access is maintained, the reduction in lane capacity may cause minor delays during the afternoon rush.
• Brisbane CBD: Mary Street remains under long-term traffic changes with the eastbound lane adjacent to the Albert Street worksite closed. Drivers are encouraged to use Margaret Street as an alternative through-route.

Public Transport and Rail Updates

Translink has confirmed several service adjustments for Thursday:

• Moorooka Station: A reminder that Moorooka station remains closed for its major accessibility rebuild. Commuters should continue using the high-frequency rail-replacement bus services connecting to Yeerongpilly and Rocklea.
• Shorncliffe Line: Testing for the new signalling system continues this week. If testing is conducted tonight, train services between Northgate and Shorncliffe will be replaced by buses after 7:45 pm. Passengers should check the Translink app before heading to the platform.
• Logan Bus Network: Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the recently expanded services on routes 562 and 563, which now provide improved connectivity to the Griffith University Logan campus and Logan Hospital.

Stay safe on the roads today and plan ahead by using official transport apps for live updates throughout the day.
