Rockhampton Ring Road is a 14.7 kilometres (9.1 mi) proposed highway from Fairy Bower on the Capricorn Highway south-west of Rockhampton to Parkhurst on the Bruce Highway to the north-east of Rockhampton, in Queensland, Australia. The road will be two lanes from the Capricorn Highway to a connection in Pink Lily (known as the West Rockhampton Connection) and four lanes from there to the Bruce Highway, including a new bridge over the Fitzroy River. It will enable through traffic to bypass the Rockhampton CBD, avoiding 19 sets of traffic signals, and will eliminate delays caused by flooding on sections of the Bruce Highway within the city.[1]
