History

The original Mogg-hill Road was a dirt track running from the convict settlement along the route known as Coronation Drive, through the village of Toowong and on to the ferry at Moggill. [2] The track from Toowong to Moggil retained the name of Moggill Road. It was used by drays carrying timber to Patterson's sawmill which was initially located at Brookfield. Sometime during the 1890s the part of road along the Toowong Reach was renamed from Moggill Road to River Road. [2]

Flooding

During the 2010–2011 Queensland floods, Moggill Road flooded in a number of places, including:

The flooding causes the suburbs of Bellbowrie, Moggill and Karana Downs to be cut off, leading to shortages of food and medical supplies. [5]

Upgrades

The construction of the Coonan Street overpass allowed for the free flow of traffic on Moggil Road. [6]

Intersection upgrade

A project to upgrade the intersection with Brookfield Road, at a cost of $25 million, was in the planning stage in May 2022. [7]

Major intersections

The entire road is in the Brisbane local government area.
