🛣⚠️👷🏽♀️👍🏼The Ipswich Motorway Upgrade is tantalisingly close to completion, with our TMR gang predicting it will be wrapped up around Christmastime (weather permitting). This vital project gets Ipswich and Western suburbs traffic moving through our Southern suburbs, while keeping commuters off our local roads. 🚴🏻♂️✅The state of the art bikeway is already open, so if you're a cyclist you can already take advantage of this fantastic piece of infrastructure. I'm really proud to be delivering this as part of the Palaszczuk team in my first term as the Member for Mount Ommaney.#infrastructureforjobs #Jessdelivers #imbackingJess with Mark Bailey MP - Labor for Miller, Annastacia Palaszczuk MP
