In June 2008, the Queensland Government approved the Eastern Busway Concept Design and Impact Management Plan (CDIMP). The busway will be built and opened in stages, with construction of the first section between the Princess Alexandra Hospital and South East Busway already underway. The Government has also committed $465.8 million for the next section of the Eastern Busway. This funding is for property acquisition between Buranda and Cavendish Road, Coorparoo and construction of the 1.05km section between the South East Busway, Buranda and Main Avenue, Coorparoo. Further stages of the Eastern Busway are ready for immediate delivery, should funding become available under the Commonwealth Government's Infrastructure Australia program. Princess Alexandra Hospital to South East Busway Construction of this 600 metre section began in July 2007 and is due for completion by late 2009. View more information about the Princess Alexandra Hospital to South East Busway section, including traffic and construction updates. South East Busway to Main Avenue Construction of the Buranda to Main Avenue section is scheduled to start mid this year. As part of the design development phase of the project, some changes are being proposed to the original Concept Design Impact Management Plan.
