[edit] Proposed Kenmore Bypass
The Kenmore Bypass, also known as the "Western Freeway Extension" and the "Moggill Pocket Sub Arterial", is a proposed Motorway from the Western Freeway at Fig Tree Pocket, (near Indooroopilly), to the Warrego Highway at Chuwar, connecting the suburbs of Karalee, Anstead, Pullenvale, and Kenmore, diverting traffic from the Ipswich Motorway and Moggill Road. The positive and negative impacts of the proposed Motorway are under official review and not yet conclusive.
