Morning Motorway and Arterial Updates

Commuters in Brisbane’s south-west will see a return to normal patterns on the Logan Motorway this morning, Monday, 30 March 2026. The eastbound on-ramp from Boundary Road and Skepper Street at Ellen Grove is scheduled to reopen at 5:00 AM. This follows a full weekend closure for planned roadworks that began on Friday evening. While the ramp is now accessible, motorists are advised to remain alert for any lingering signage or reduced speed zones in the immediate vicinity as site crews finalize the area.

In the Central Business District, significant lane restrictions remain in place due to the ongoing Cross River Rail project. Elizabeth Street and Charlotte Street continue to experience temporary lane closures that are expected to persist throughout the year. Additionally, Albert Street remains closed to all vehicular traffic between Mary and Charlotte Streets. Eastbound commuters using Roma Street should also plan for extra travel time as temporary lane and footpath adjustments continue to impact traffic flow near the station precinct.

Public Transport and Rail Disruptions

Translink has issued several alerts for Monday, March 30, that will affect bus users across the city. Most notably, a new temporary stop closure begins today on Beams Road in Fitzgibbon. This disruption is part of long-term infrastructure works and is expected to remain in place until early May. Passengers who normally use these stops should consult the Translink journey planner for the location of the nearest alternative boarding points.

Other major transport notices for today include:

  • Roma Street: Temporary stop closures and changes commence today and will remain in effect until April 2.
  • Queen Street Station: An overnight stop closure is scheduled for tonight, Monday, March 30. Commuters planning late-night travel should check for diverted service paths.
  • Upper Mount Gravatt Station: An evening station closure will take place tonight, requiring passengers to use alternative transit hubs during the shutdown period.
  • Moorooka Station: A reminder that Moorooka station remains completely closed for major construction and accessibility upgrades. This closure is long-term and rail replacement services continue to operate for affected southside passengers.

New Translink Service for Coochiemudlo Island

Starting today, Monday, 30 March 2026, the Coochiemudlo Island ferry officially joins the Translink network. This integration allows residents and visitors to use their standard transit ticketing for travel to and from the island, providing a more seamless connection to the wider South East Queensland transport grid.

Commuter Recommendations

With the "Run Army" event from Sunday now concluded, major CBD arteries such as the Story Bridge and Grey Street have returned to standard operation. However, with multiple bus stop changes taking effect this morning, the lead editor recommends allowing an additional 10 to 15 minutes for your commute. Heavy traffic is expected to be concentrated around the inner-city construction zones and the northern suburbs near Fitzgibbon due to the new roadwork footprints.
