tn_200908_11_forestlake_loganmwy_m2_robtilley.jpg Logan Motorway Interchange:
The unusually shaped interchange with the Logan Mwy (M2) at Forest Lake. The shape is due to the ramp arrangements - Logan Mwy traffic travelling southeast join the Centenary Hwy via a right-hand merge, and northbound Centenary Hwy traffic join the Logan Mwy via a cloverleaf ramp, plus Bullock Head Creek runs up the middle of the interchange as well, August 2009. This section of the route has since been upgraded to dual carriageway.
