Woolloongabba Sewer Capacity Upgrade
Queensland Urban Utilities, a division of Brisbane City Council, is increasing the capacity of Woolloongabba’s sewer system to cater for the increasing development in this area.
Part A of this project will involve the installation of new sewer pipes in Wolseley Street, O’Keefe Street, into Fern Street, through Hanlon Park to Stones Corner.
Due to these construction works, there will be changed traffic conditions on O’Keefe Street between Ipswich Road and Junction Street, Woolloongabba.
All east bound lanes on O’Keefe Street will be closed and the two lanes west bound will remain open to traffic. Local resident access will be maintained at all times.
The following access changes will be in place
• No left turn from Ipswich Road to O’Keefe Street east bound
Commuters can access Old Cleveland Road by turning left from Ipswich Road into Balaclava Street, and then turning right onto Logan Road (please refer to map overleaf).
• Noright turn from Ipswich Road to O’Keefe Street east bound
Commuters can access O’Keefe Street by turning right from Ipswich Road to Cornwall Street, turning left into Junction Street and then turning right into O’Keefe Street (please refer to map overleaf).
These temporary traffic changes will be in place from Tuesday 8 June 2010 and will remain in place until the expected completion date in late October 2010. Normal construction hours will be between 7am and 5.30pm Monday – Saturday.
Bus stop closures – Logan Road, Woolloongabba Late October 2009

Intersection of Russell and Edmondstone Streets
Traffic lights are to be installed at the intersection of Russell and Edmondstone Streets with construction work likely to commence at the end of October.
This intersection was identified as a Black Spot intersection and was ranted 11th unsafe intersection in the State. This is great news as I have been lobbying for this project for more than 3 years.
