Live breaking news: Queensland Premier reveals Brisbane lockdown end, Australia's botched vaccine rollout slammed
Holiday-makers are facing delays of more than half an hour and kilometres of gridlock as residents exit Brisbane following lockdown's end.
The Morrison government has been lashed today over the nation's shockingly delayed vaccine program.
Holiday-makers are facing delays of more than half an hour and kilometres of gridlock as residents exit Brisbane following lockdown's end, just in time for Easter.
Significant delays are building from Pimpama to Coomera southbound on the Pacific Motorway (on the way to the Gold Coast), after a crash near the Coomera River bridge, leading to more than 10km of congestion, The Courier-Mail reports.
RACQ spokeswoman Lauren Ritchie told the publication that the delays would be worse than usual long weekend traffic.
"Come midday today around 2.5 million people in greater Brisbane will be released from lockdown, meaning those hitting the road will likely experience extensive delays and congestion, especially on the Pacific Motorway, Bruce Highway and Gateway Motorway," she warned.
"We say it every year, but please be patient and allow extra time, because the roads will be busier than usual."
