The Pacific Motorway is a motorway in Australia between Brisbane, Queensland, and Brunswick Heads, New South Wales, through the New South Wales–Queensland border at Tweed Heads.

The motorway starts at Coronation Drive at Milton in Brisbane, The Brisbane city section of the motorway is often referred to by its former name, the Riverside Expressway. The motorway is about 150 kilometres (93 mi) long, and features eight traffic lanes with a 110 km/h (68 mph) speed limit between the M6 Logan Motorway at Loganholme and State Route 10 Smith Street Motorway at Gaven and generally six or four lanes at 100 km/h (62 mph) on other sections.

The motorway then passes through the major tourist region of the Gold Coast, the destination for most of the vehicular traffic from Brisbane. It passes attractions such as Warner Bros. Movie World, Wet'n'Wild Water World at Oxenford, and Dreamworld theme parks in Coomera. Within Queensland, more than a $2 billion was spent on the motorway between 1990 and 1998, including widening the road and safety measures.

The motorway then crosses the Queensland/New South Wales border via a section known as the Tugun Bypass, which passes under the runway of Gold Coast Airport. Since 2013, a portion of Pacific Highway south of the border was also designated M1 Pacific Motorway.

The highest point of the motorway is 92 metres (302 ft) AHD on a cutting 130 km (81 mi) south of Brisbane (between Cudgera Creek Rd and Sleepy Hollow Rest Area).[1]

## History

[edit]

### Queensland section

[edit]

The Pacific Highway between Brisbane and the New South Wales border was originally called the Main South Coast Road. It was one of the first roads to be declared by the Main Roads Board, which was created in 1920. The Albert River at Beenleigh and the Nerang River at Southport were the first major watercourses to be bridged. Both of these bridges opened in 1925. In 1928, a major realignment between Helensvale and Southport, including a timber bridge over the South Coast railway line and a concrete bridge over Coombabah Creek at Arundel, was completed. This road is now the northern section of the Gold Coast Highway, between Helensvale and Loders Creek in Labrador.[citation needed]

In June 1930, the Coomera River bridge opened, and in December of that year, the Pacific Highway was declared. By then, some sections were already sealed. The final bridge over a major watercourse, the Logan River bridge, opened in July 1931. The Coomera River bridge still carries a service road between Coomera and Helensvale, and the Logan River bridge between Loganholme and Eagleby carried highway traffic until 1986. It is now a pedestrian bridge.[citation needed]

The sealing of the highway was completed in late 1937, when the bridge over the Pimpama River at Ormeau was completed. Below is a list of the bridges over the smaller watercourses, and when they were completed:

* Bulimba Creek (Eight Mile Plains) - mid 1929
* Sandy Creek (Stapylton) - early 1935
* Halfway Creek (Stapylton) - mid 1939
* Pimpama River (Ormeau) - late 1937
* Hotham Creek (Pimpama) - late 1929
* Oaky Creek (Coomera) - mid 1935
* Saltwater Creek (Helensvale) - early 1931
* Coombabah Creek (Arundel) - early 1928

Of these, the bridges over Bulimba Creek, Sandy Creek, Halfway Creek, Pimpama River and Saltwater Creek replaced older bridges. The bridge over Coombabah Creek at Arundel was built as part of the realignment between Helensvale and Southport. It is unclear if there were older bridges over Hotham and Oaky Creeks; the bridges may have replaced fords, but it is also possible that there are simply no known records for the older bridges, if they existed.

In the early 1950s, traffic congestion began to become a serious problem on the highway, a problem that has plagued it ever since. To reduce this, the highway from its northern terminus to Helensvale was duplicated gradually, until the final section between Coomera and Oxenford was completed in 1971.

In 1965, Wilbur Smith’s freeway plan was produced, calling for the construction of six freeways and three expressways connecting Brisbane to the outer suburbs. The highway from its northern terminus to Springwood was to be supplemented by the South East Freeway, which was designated as the F3 in 1969. The first section of the freeway was opened in March 1973. It ran from the CBD south to Greenslopes. Over the next decade, the freeway was extended southwards, and the Pacific Highway at Springwood was reached in 1985.[2]

On 15 April 1996 it was announced that the Pacific Highway between the Beenleigh-Redland Bay Road interchange at Loganholme, and Pappas Way at Nerang, would be upgraded to motorway standard.[3] From the Albert River at Beenleigh to Coombabah Creek at Gaven, about 28 km (17 mi), the road surface is portland cement concrete. The upgraded road was opened to the public in October 2000. At the same time, the South-East Freeway, and the Pacific Highway between Springwood and Loganholme, was renamed as the Pacific Motorway.[3]

Crossing the Logan River at Loganholme, 2017

Below is an overview of when each construction project on the highway (later motorway) was completed (from earliest to latest).

* 1956–1958 - Stapylton deviation. New 2-lane highway constructed to bypass a rail-over-road bridge with low clearance that was approached by sharp curves on either end.
* 1959–1960 – Gaven Way. New road connecting the Pacific Highway at Helensvale to Nerang, essentially forming the first stage of the Gold Coast bypass route, opened to traffic on 10 December 1960.
* 1961–1962 - Helensvale duplication. New 4-lane highway constructed between just south of the Oxenford turnoff and the Gaven Way turnoff at Helensvale, including two new concrete bridges over Saltwater Creek to replace the existing bridge, and a flyover at Gaven Way. This was the first section of the highway to be duplicated south of the Logan River.

Banora Point Upgrade on the Pacific Motorway (looking south) Barneys Point Bridge over the Tweed River, 2017

The NSW section of the Pacific Motorway to Brunswick Heads is part of the Pacific Highway upgrade from the Queensland border to West Ballina. It was renamed to Pacific Motorway from Pacific Highway in February 2013.[33][34]

The motorway's first stage was completed in July 1985 with the opening of the first stage of the Tweed Heads Bypass from Bilinga just north of the Queensland border to Kennedy Drive at Tweed Heads West, followed by the second stage in November 1992 from Kennedy Drive at Tweed Heads West to Minjungbal Drive at Tweed Heads South.[35] Over the next 20 years, sections of the motorway progressively opened to traffic, until the final section, the Banora Point upgrade, opened in September 2012.[36] For more comprehensive information on this section of motorway, see the Pacific Highway article.

Below is an overview of when each stage of the motorway was completed (from south to north):

|

The Pacific Motorway, when it was upgraded in September 2000, was the first motorway in Queensland to have service centres integrated. There are two service centres, Stapylton servicing southbound traffic, and Coomera servicing northbound traffic. The travel centres include fuel and fast-food restaurants, picnic areas and a shop. Solar panels on the roofs of the centres provide power to the facilities.

## Speed limits

### Speed cameras

[edit]

There is a fixed speed camera on the Pacific Motorway at Holland Park West, facing northbound. There is another at Loganholme just after the Logan Motorway exit facing northbound.[42] A third set of speed cameras, situated on the northbound side of the motorway at the Smith Street Motorway interchange at Gaven, became active around March 2013 but is now currently in the process of being replaced with point to point cameras facing both north and southbound between Gaven (Exit 66), Oxenford (Exit 57), and Beenleigh South (Exit 35).[43][44]

M1 Motorway at the Helensvale North exit looking out towards Oxenford. Pacific Motorway southbound at the Smith Street Motorway exit at Gaven.

### Gold Coast

[edit]

Yatala to Coolangatta is within the City of Gold Coast. The city has a population of 500,000 and is Australia's sixth-largest city. The oceanside parts of the Gold Coast are characterised by high-rises, residential canal developments, a casino, theme parks, amusement parks and numerous tourist attractions, whilst its inland suburbs are leafy and well kept, looking much like the newer suburbia of other large Australian cities. The Gold Coast attracts tourists from around the world and is one of Australia's leading tourist destinations. Most of the city is bypassed by the Pacific Motorway (M1 Motorway) which continues from Metroad 3 at Eight Mile Plains. The former route of the Pacific Highway through the Gold Coast has been renamed as the Gold Coast Highway. The Pacific Highway was very congested between Tugun and Bilinga until the Tugun Bypass opened in June 2008 bypassing the old highway. The bypassed section was renamed Gold Coast Highway.

### Tweed Heads

[edit]

The highway crosses the Tweed River south of Banora Point. Tweed Heads is the major commercial centre of the southern part of the Gold Coast, which extends as far south as Crabbes Creek in New South Wales. It was known as a "twin town" along with Coolangatta, Queensland before they coalesced with other towns to form the suburbia of the Gold Coast. The Tweed River valley contains the Cudgen Road Tunnel at Stotts Creek completed in 2002. The tunnel was built to avoid the visual impact of a road cutting.
