The route is in metropolitain Brisbane and its southern

Brighton, Boondall, Virginina, Nundah, Woolowin, Albion,

The route includes a bridge opened in 1935, the Hornibrook
Bridge. It was the original link to Redcliffe. Since
closing to vehicle traffic in 1979, the bridge has been
a pedestrian and cycle link and popular spot for fishing.
The Hornibrook Bridge consists of approximately 1800
timber girders. The bridge however is in disrepair and
will be dismantled upon the widening / duplication of
the Houghton Highway. The old arches at either end of
the old structure will be retained. For images of the
old arches, see SR27.
