 The cross-river tunnel being built in Brisbane has been formally
recognised by the Queensland Government as a motorway named the
M7.
Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman says work on the cross-river tunnel
continues to move ahead of schedule. The link from Bowen Hills to
Woolloongabba will be formally known as the Clem-7 after former mayor
Clem Jones who died late last year.
Councillor Newman says the underground road should be ready by late next
year. "I continue to be very happy with the progress, they're about a
kilometre through from Bowen Hills and now under Wickham St in the
Valley, down about 30 metres as I understand it," he said. "They're
heading towards the Brisbane River and they should be there by September
this year."
