.
It stretches 20.6 km (13 mi). $14 million worth of road works started in 2010, $32 million in 2009, following a further $27 million completed in 2008.
Flooding
During the 2010–2011 Queensland floods, Moggill Road flooded in a number of places, including:
- around the intersections with Market Street and Witton Road, Chapel Hill[2]
- around Pullen Pullen Creek at Pinjarra Hills and Bellowrie[3]
The flooding causes the suburbs of Bellbowrie, Moggill and Karana Downs to be cut off, leading to shortages of food and medical supplies.[4]
Upgrade
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.[5]

The entire road is in the Brisbane local government area.
