Inner City Bypass - cooperation in project planning
Abstract
The Inner City Bypass (ICB) is a major link in the road network with connections to Lutwyche Road, Airport Link Tunnel, Clem Jones Tunnel, Legacy Way tunnel and the soon-to-be-upgraded Kingsford Smith Drive. The existing ICB is operating at up to 90% capacity however will be severely over capacity by 2021, with this section of the ICB currently carrying more than 100,000 vehicles per day. In order to address this issue, Brisbane City Council is planning to widen the Inner City Bypass (ICB) between Legacy Way and the RNA tunnel to increase capacity and allow for future growth along the corridor.
This paper will discuss the strategies used to ensure the planning process addressed priority outcomes for key stakeholders.
