BRISBANE’S  AIRPORT LINK BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA The Airport Link, Northern Busway (Windsor to Kedron)  and Airport Roundabout Upgrade is one of Australia’s  largest infrastructure projects to date. The project’s  three parts are as follows: Airport Link is the first major  motorway connecting Brisbane city to the northern  suburbs and the domestic and international airports.  With a total of 13.5 km of roads and tunnel ramps, the  Airport Link is Australia’s longest road tunnel. Two new  architecturally designed busway stations situated at  Kedron and Lutwyche will be delivered as part of the  project. The Airport Roundabout Upgrade consists of  a new four-lane flyover, a high-capacity ‘fast diamond’  interchange and a widening of the East-West Arterial to  three lanes each way. Key elements include 15 km (9.3  miles) of tunnel, 25 bridges, 15 cut-and-cover structures,  off-ramps and specially designed bus tunnels, bicycle  paths, and new parklands. One of the largest tunneling  machines used in Australia was used on the project. The  project was delivered in constrained brownfield locations  with high population density and a challenging geological  environment. It removes a severe traffic bottleneck and  significantly improves mobility in the region. The project  has been widely recognized for its technical innovations  and design excellence.
