Metroad 3: Pacific Motorway (Eight Mile Plains to Holland
Park)
Metroad 3 starts at the interchange with the Gateway
Motorway and continues where M1 leaves off.
The route takes in the Brisbane's inner south and also
skirts the CBD via what was called the Riverside Expressway
which opened July 1976, then Metroad 3 continues into
the northern suburbs via Coronation Drive, Hale Street
and the Inner City By-Pass before connecting with Bowen
Bridge Road, Lutwyche Road, Gympie Road and finally
the Gympie Arterial Road for the connection to the Bruce
Highway at the Gateway Motorway (M1) junction.
Along the route you'll find the Captain Cook Bridge.
It is the third crossing of the Brisbane River. It was
opened in 1972. It crosses at the South Brisbane Reach
of the river, and links Gardens Point to Woolloongabba.
It carries four lanes of traffic in either direction
and links the Pacific Motorway to the Riverside Expressway.

as the South East Freeway), click
