Building an overpass at the Beams Road Level Crossing
The Miles Government started construction of the impressive new rail overpass at Beams Road, while also boosting the Carseldine Park ‘n’ Ride and improving local road connections.
As your local member I’ve worked hard to deliver a rail overpass at Beams Road in Carseldine.
With your help, I launched a community petition, secured funding for a feasibility study, launched the business case and locked in funding from all levels of government. I took up the fight to get this dangerous level crossing removed, and now construction is well underway.
I will continue to work hard to deliver the Beams Road Rail Overpass because the Aspley electorate can’t afford to have this project put at risk by the new LNP Government - they have a history of cutting funding to roads projects, sacking workers and selling off Queensland’s assets.
