Caboolture River Road is set to receive a series of major improvements within the next decade, recognising the importance of this east-west transport corridor.
The four kilometre section from Morayfield Road to west of Crome Court will be transformed from a two-lane undivided road into an enhanced four-lane carriageway that will better meet growing community needs.
The improvements will deliver:
- increased traffic capacity
- traffic safety enhancements
- additional safe crossing points for cyclists and pedestrians
- increased opportunity for cycling and pedestrian activity
- upgraded intersections
- dedicated turning lanes
- support for regional growth
- an overall vision and cohesive appearance for the road corridor.
The improvements to Caboolture River Road have been planned and designed to ensure these much-needed upgrades are delivered to accommodate growing demands and user needs. They will also benefit families and businesses already located in and around the corridor that rely on Caboolture River Road for their day-to-day lifestyle and activities.
Project 1: Caboolture River Road - Morayfield Road to Grant Road
City of Moreton Bay is working to upgrade Caboolture River Road at Morayfield, between Morayfield Road and Grant Road to cater to growing and future travel demands.
The project includes funding from the Queensland Government and City of Moreton Bay and forms part of the Growth Area Compact, a commitment under the SEQ City Deal.
Road construction work is expected to begin in the first half of 2027 and be completed in 2028.

Key features
- Widening Caboolture River Road between Grant Road and Morayfield Road to provide two traffic lanes in each direction (four lanes in total) with a central median.
- Installing additional traffic turning lanes at key intersections.
- Installing new traffic lights at the intersection of Amy and Kenneth Streets.
- Upgrading the existing traffic lights at Grant Road and Morayfield Road.
- Changing access at Ben Street and Lorebury Drive to left in/left out only.
- Installing new cycling and pedestrian paths on both sides of the road.
Current activities
Service relocation works will continue intermittently along the project zone during the remainder of 2026, ahead of the start of road construction. Works are being planned to minimise impacts to residents and businesses.
Ongoing Telstra and Torus Network service relocations
These works commenced in July 2026 and are generally progressing during the day; however, some night works are required due to safety considerations. Telstra and Torus Networks will continue to contact property owners and/or tenants directly regarding any access or service delivery matters.
Water and sewer relocations to begin in October 2026
To prepare for the widening of Caboolture River Road, these works will take place in sections along the project alignment until early 2027.
Water and sewerage services will be maintained and will continue to operate during the relocation works.
This project will require trench works on the road verge. Activities will generally be conducted during the day, with some night works necessary due to safety and traffic considerations.
It is expected traffic controls and shuttle flows (lane sharing) will need to apply during the majority of this work, and existing car parking arrangements along Caboolture River Road may not be available at locations where works are under way.
The contractor (Bellwether Contractors) will liaise directly with individual owners/tenants to ensure property access is facilitated.
Once this service infrastructure is relocated, Unitywater will contact individual property owners/tenants to coordinate and complete connections to the new live network.
Road users and pedestrians are requested to observe the instructions of work crews and all signage. Motorists are reminded to follow all signage and directions at all times. Delays may occur, and your patience is appreciated as this essential project is delivered safely.
