Brisbane traffic: Major delays on Logan Motorway after two crashes

Commuters faced major delays after crashes on the Logan Mwy this morning while congestion builds on the Bruce Hwy.

Motorists hoping to beat the early morning rush may have to prepare themselves for some lengthy delays on major Brisbane roads.

As of about 8am this morning, there were delays of about 17 minutes along the Centenary Highway heading northbound between Sumner and Jindalee.

Queensland Traffic have said that these delays are due to morning peak hour conditions.

There are similar delays on the Bruce Highway in north Brisbane, with it currently taking motorists about 34 minutes to travel 21km.

While the heaviest traffic is running through North Lakes, congestion stretches from Deception Bay through to Griffin.

Congestion is also building on the Inner City Bypass onto Hale Street from Herston to Brisbane City.

Two separate crashes in Parkinson earlier created some traffic chaos along the Logan Motorway, with commuters facing delays of up to 70 minutes.

Congestion spanned from Loganlea to Ellen Grove, with motorists taking an hour to travel 5km through Parkinson.
