Metroad 3: Pacific Motorway, Coronation Drive, Hale Street, Inner City By-Pass, Gympie Road & Gympie Arterial Road

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.
