Eastern Busway - Eleanor Schonell Bridge to South East Busway (completed)
The Eastern Busway provides congestion-free travel with frequent and reliable bus services from the University of Queensland and the Eleanor Schonell Bridge at Dutton Park, to the Boggo Road Urban Village, Princess Alexandra Hospital and the South East Busway at Buranda.
The section from University of Queensland and the Eleanor Schonell Bridge to Princess Alexandra Hospital was formerly known as the Boggo Road Busway, but has been renamed Eastern Busway.
Bus services started operating on this A$366 million project on Monday 3 August 2009.
The busway includes two new stations, a bus stop at Dutton Park and Australia’s longest busway tunnel.
Stations
The Princess Alexandra Hospital station is a multi-level structure that provides direct pedestrian access to the hospital, as well as a cycle way from O’Keefe Street parallel to the station to Kent Street, near the Dutton Park rail station.
Boggo Road station provides interchange opportunities with Park Road rail station and has been designed to integrate well with future developments such as the Boggo Road Urban Village.
Both stations feature full accessibility, high quality urban design, modern landscaping and first-class security features that are monitored around the clock.

This A$465.8 million project will deliver a new 1.05 km busway from the South East Busway at Buranda to Main Avenue, Coorparoo. Funding to acquire properties to Cavendish Road, Coorparoo is also included in this stage of the project.
The busway will include new busway stations at Stones Corner and Langlands Park. Construction commenced in August 2009, and is scheduled to finish in 2012.
Eastern Busway – Main Avenue, Coorparoo to Capalaba
