Port of Brisbane Motorway is a motorway which connects the Port of Brisbane to the Gateway Motorway. Stage 1 was opened in December 2002. The motorway was built to take freight traffic off Lytton Road, with about 4,000 vehicles travelling to the Port of Brisbane in 2002.[1] Stage 1 cost A$196 million and was finished six months ahead of schedule and A$20 million under budget.[2] The Port of Brisbane Motorway holds the M4 motorway designation.
Stage 2 includes a three kilometre extension of the existing motorway through to Pritchard Street. Construction commenced in April 2011 with completion in February 2013.[3] The project was named Port Connect, an A$385 million upgrade.[4]
A further stage of upgrade was completed on the connecting roads to the port. The project was named Port Drive Upgrade, an A$110 million upgrade from the eastern end of the Port of Brisbane Motorway through to Port Gate. Construction commenced in Q3 2016 and completed mid 2018.[5] It included duplication of Port Drive, an overpass at Kite Street intersection and duplication of Lucinda Drive.[6]
