Australian road operator 600 Transurban Queensland has awarded 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom subsidiary Kapsch TrafficCom Australia the contract for a new project to fully replace the existing road tolling system for the Gateway and Logan Motorways in Queensland.

The scope of the project comprises supply of a new tolling system with 14 tolling points, and is valued at over US$10.5 million (14 million AUD).

The Gateway (including the Gateway Extension) and Logan Motorways comprise over 60 kilometres of motorway and see daily traffic in excess of 271,000 vehicles. They are part of Transurban Queensland’s go via network of Brisbane toll roads.

The Logan Motorway is located to the south-west of Brisbane City and provides an essential connection between Logan, Brisbane and Ipswich.
