The design and construct contract for the Gateway to Bruce Upgrade (G2BU) project in Queensland has been awarded to a joint venture, containing some of Australia’s largest tier one contractors.
The project will upgrade one of Southeast Queensland’s most critical transport links —the connection between the Gateway and Bruce Highways, improving safety, efficiency and travel reliability for motorists while supporting hundreds of local jobs and businesses.
With significant population growth driving increased travel demand, traffic volumes through this corridor are expected to rise by around 50 per cent by 2041.
The contract has been awarded to Gateway Connect Joint Venture (GCJV) – a partnership between CPB, BMD and Georgiou, with designers GHD and BG&E.

The G2BU project combines the delivery of the $1 billion Gateway Motorway, Bracken Ridge to Pine River upgrade and the $948 million Bruce Highway (Brisbane – Gympie) Gateway Motorway to Dohles Rocks Road upgrade (Stage One).
The upgrade involves providing additional lanes on the Gateway Motorway, improving the motorway curve at Bracken Ridge and upgrades to the Bruce Highway interchange with Gateway Motorway and Gympie Arterial Road, south of the Pine River.
Works will also deliver shared active transport pathways, construction of a new Wyampa Road to increase local connectivity, as well as wildlife protection fencing and underpasses, all to be delivered in staged improvements to minimise disruptions.
Work on the G2BU Project is expected to commence in the second half of 2026.
