So, hands up who’s used the new Airport Link M7 tunnel already?
You might as well take a drive through the new tunnel while it’s free for everyone to use because after August 22 there will be a toll charge to drive through it.
Whether you plan to use the tunnel or not though, it should help make commuting around Brisbane easier for residents of Everton Park as we will have more direct access from Kedron to Bowen Hills and Toombul. Traffic congestion and travel times on other roads should also lessen as more people start using the tunnel.
Most locals are excited that they will be able to get to the city and the airport much faster, and there are even predictions that property prices in Brisbane’s north will rise as local residents now have quicker and easier access to Brisbane’s main hubs.
Hopefully the new Airport Link will be popular even when the toll charge is implemented, and if you’re interested in finding out what the costs will be, or just want to learn more about the tunnel, then you can head to www.airportlinkm7.com.au.
