Upgrades along Kenmore Road are now complete, wrapping up a two-year corridor safety project that has delivered improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists across Kenmore and Fig Tree Pocket.

The works are part of Brisbane’s Suburban Corridor Modernisation program, which focuses on improving safety and accessibility on suburban roads. The Kenmore Road project spanned both the Pullenvale and Walter Taylor wards and was delivered in two stages.
The first stage, completed in July 2025, focused on the Kenmore section of the corridor. Two pedestrian splitter islands and kerb ramps were installed at the Kenmore Road and Gilruth Road roundabout, and kerb ramps were upgraded on Crestview Street at Kenmore Road. Line marking and two traffic islands were added on the bend between 50 and 54 Kenmore Road, existing lighting was upgraded, and yellow no-stopping lines were painted across the affected area.
Fig Tree Pocket Roundabout Gets Safety Makeover
The second stage brought improvements to the Kenmore Road, Norman Street and Robertson Place roundabout in Fig Tree Pocket. Works there included installing and upgrading pedestrian islands, kerb ramps and kerb build-outs at multiple legs of the roundabout, giving people on foot safer and more clearly defined crossing points.
Cyclists also benefit from dedicated new infrastructure at the roundabout. A bike off-ramp was installed on the western leg of the road for eastbound riders, and a bike on-ramp was added on Norman Street, improving access to and from the corridor at this intersection.
Minor turfing and footpath improvements were carried out to better connect the space around the roundabout, and line marking was upgraded across the area for improved visibility.

Residents using the roundabout should be aware of yellow no-stopping lines marked in key locations around the crossing points. Parking is not permitted in these zones, with the intent to keep sightlines clear at crossings and ensure lanes remain wide enough for traffic to pass safely.
The Suburban Corridor Modernisation program delivers, in the words of the project page, “small but meaningful improvements to suburban streets” to make travel safer, more accessible and more enjoyable across Brisbane.
The completed works are now in place for residents, pedestrians, and cyclists using this section of Kenmore Road.
