Northern Access Road Project

Brisbane Airport Corporation’s $220 million Northern Access Road Project is now open. You can now use the airport’s newest roads – Moreton Drive and Nancy-Bird Way. To learn more about the project and timeline click here.

Vehicles now have acces to the four and a half kilometre, multi-lane road system, which has been fully funded by Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) as part of an ambitious $4.2 billion infrastructure program. Queensland's Premier Anna Bligh officially opened Brisbane Airport’s new Northern Access Road on 2 December 2009.

The new major road, named Moreton Drive, links the Gateway Motorway with the Domestic Terminal in a seamless, uninterrupted flow, while Nancy-Bird Way services the International Terminal. The road network provides airport users and businesses with a second major access route to terminals and on-airport businesses, delivering huge benefits to the entire Australia TradeCoast region – one of the fastest growing employment and investment locations in Australia.

Moreton Drive connects with a major component of the Gateway Upgrade Project, the new Gateway Motorway, which runs from the Gateway Bridge through Brisbane Airport land before rejoining the Old Gateway Motorway at Nudgee Road.

The new road is a massive boost in capacity for Brisbane Airport’s road network, generating huge savings in time, congestion, fuel use, and emissions for the tens of thousands of vehicles using the Airport’s roads every day.
