The original Mogg-hill Road was a dirt track running from the convict settlement along the route known asCoronation 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 bydrays carrying timber to Patterson's sawmill which was initially located atBrookfield. Sometime during the 1890s the part of road along the Toowong Reach was renamed from Moggill Road to River Road.[2]
During the2010–2011 Queensland floods, Moggill Road flooded in a number of places, including:
The flooding causes the suburbs of Bellbowrie,Moggill andKarana Downs to be cut off, leading to shortages of food and medical supplies.[5]
The construction of the Coonan Street overpass allowed for the free flow of traffic on Moggil Road.[6]
A project to upgrade the intersection with Brookfield Road, at a cost of $25 million, was in the planning stage in May 2022.[7]
The entire road is in theBrisbane local government area.
