General Information:

State Route 24 is an arterial road servicing Brisbane's eastern suburbs and the Port of Brisbane shipping precinct. A mix of divided and undivided road, the route once formed the main road servicing the area prior to the Port of Brisbane Mwy opened.

State Route 24 is signposted on both Port Drive and Pritchard Street between Export Street, Lytton and Wynnum Road North, Lytton, and it is unclear which of these roads are part of the current alignment, as a result, both are included on this page.

21 November 2011: The Freight Street and Lytton Road intersection was closed to help with traffic flow and increase safety along Lytton Road. Freight Street became a cul-de-sac as a result. ²

August, 2018: Completion of Port Drive upgrades. The upgrade also included the Port Drive shared path, which is dedicated to the late Mr Peter Frawley, who lost his life in a road accident while cycling on port roads in 2007. ³

January 2020: Completion of reconstruction of outbound lanes on Lytton Road. In addition to the road upgrades, bike lanes and a footpath adjacent to Lytton Road were completed as well. ⁴
