Ipswich/Logan Mwy Photos

[Trent Thomson]

Hi all

Below are some recent photos from the Ipswich and Logan Motorways in
Brisbane. Unfortunately I wasn't using my DSLR camera so many of the
shots are a bit dodgy. I haven't had a chance to clean them up yet.
The winter sun also makes road photography difficult!

I also captured a video of the Ipswich Mwy between Oxley Rd and
Warrego Hwy, as well as the Warrego Hwy between Mt Crosby Rd and
Ipswich Mwy. I think these turned out relatively well, I just need to
edit them and post, so stay tuned!

Ipswich Motorway approaching Logan Motorway. Once the upgrade is
completed the right-hand exit onto the Logan Mwy will be eliminated
and replaced with a conventional dual lane high speed ramp.

Temporary line markings are in place.

New ramp between eastbound Ipswich Mwy and Logan Mwy. This will
eventually carry one-way traffic at 100 km/h.

Now on the Logan Motorway.

Stapylton Road Toll Plaza and Interchange. This interchange is being
rebuilt as part of the transition to free-flow tolling. The partial
cloverleaf interchange is being "upgraded" to a dumbbell-diamond
hybrid. Some pics approaching Stapylton Rd from the Logan Mwy eastbound.

Closeup of signs at the toll plaza. Coverplates were added to these
signs when the Touchtag was phased out a few years ago.

This is a really bad photo, but it does highlight a mistake that
survived for nearly 20 years.

Dodgy photo of a dodgy sign. This is one of the new ramps to the Logan
Mwy at Stapylton Rd that only opened a few weeks ago.

Entering the Logan Mwy eastbound from Stapylton Rd (sorry about the
lighting)

Back on the Logan Motorway, this dodgy sign notifies drivers of the
upcoming Paradise Rd interchange.

Very nice pix Trent :)

Would you mind if I used some of your M2 images for the site please?
Would be good to update my Metroad 6 section with the new designation.
