Public Notice: Essential Road Closures and Health Advisories for Sunday, 22 March 2026

CBD Road Closures for Infrastructure Upgrades

Brisbane City Council advises residents and commuters of significant traffic changes in the Central Business District throughout this weekend. Due to essential crane operations, full road closures and traffic diversions are in effect from Friday evening through to 5:00 AM Monday, 23 March 2026. Specific impacts for Sunday include:

• Eagle Street: A full closure is in place between Charlotte Street and Market Street.
• Market Street: Contra-flow traffic conditions are being managed between Mary Street and Charlotte Street.

Police, traffic controllers, and temporary signage are stationed throughout the precinct to assist motorists and pedestrians. Local businesses remain accessible, but drivers are urged to allow for extra travel time or use the Inner City Bypass as an alternative route.

Regional Roadworks and Motorway Impacts

The Department of Transport and Main Roads has confirmed a major ramp closure on the Logan Motorway at Ellen Grove. The eastbound on-ramp from Boundary Road and Skepper Street will remain closed until 5:00 AM on Monday to facilitate planned roadworks. Additionally, several suburban maintenance projects are reaching milestones today. Notably, the long-term project on Ipswich Road in Annerley is scheduled to conclude its current phase of work this Sunday, 22 March. Motorists should remain vigilant as crews remove barriers and restore normal traffic flow in the area.

Health Advisory: 2026 Flu Immunisation Program

Queensland Health has issued a reminder regarding the launch of the 2026 Free Flu Vaccination Program. Starting in late March, a new needle-free nasal spray influenza vaccine will be available for all children aged two to five years. This program will be accessible through general practices, pharmacies, and community immunisation providers across Brisbane. Health officials also continue to monitor melioidosis risks following the recent March flood events. Residents in flood-affected suburbs are advised to wear protective footwear and gloves when cleaning up debris or gardening to avoid contact with soil-borne bacteria.

Scheduled Maintenance and Power Outages

Energex is conducting essential network reinforcement works today to ensure the reliability of the local grid. Residents in Berrinba should prepare for a planned power outage affecting Pagewood Street. The interruption is scheduled to occur between 3:00 PM and 10:00 PM on Sunday, 22 March. Residents are encouraged to keep refrigerators closed and unplug sensitive electronic equipment during this period. These works are part of the broader 2026 infrastructure resilience strategy for the southern Brisbane corridor.
