The Walkerston Bypass Project is for a 10-kilometre link between the Peak Downs Highway and the Mackay Ring Road to bypass Walkerston and provide a more efficient link from the northern Bowen Basin to Mackay. 

The business case involves widening the M1 Pacific Motorway from four to six lanes in each direction, constructing a northbound off ramp from the M1 to Southport – Burleigh Road, upgrading on and off ramps, and upgrading cycling and pedestrian access.

The business case seeks to widen the nine-kilometre section of the M1 Pacific Motorway from six to eight lanes, consolidating on and off ramps, developing managed motorway technology, and extending the South East Busway to Springwood.
