An alternative location for a bridge to replaceMoggill Ferry is proposed within the Moggill Pocket Arterial Road Transport Corridor. Land has been set aside by the Queensland government as a future transport corridor passing through the suburbs ofKenmore,Pullenvale, Anstead andKaralee to connect theCentenary Highway atFig Tree Pocket, Queensland with theWarrego Highway atNorth Tivoli. The corridor was identified in the 1960s and planned and preserved in the late 1970s.[10] It has not been determined whether or not local trafficon and off-ramp access to the arterial road will be provided. Community feelings over the transport corridor are similar to those expressed over the Moggill Ferry/Bridge debate. As of 2010, there is no date or funding provided to commence the construction of the Moggill Pocket Arterial Road Transport Corridor.
