General Information:
State Route 22 is a 2 part route, truncated after numbering changes in the Brisbane area during the 1990s. The Cleveland to Woolloongabba section features a partially unsigned section along O'Keefe St at Woolloongabba as well as an unsigned duplex with SR95 within the same suburb. 2
The Cleveland to Woolloongabba section of the route passes through commercial and residential zones for the majority of the route and is mostly divided roadway. The route also once carried trams closer to the city. The route is mostly 2 lanes in each direction, with Morton Bay Road at arterial / near motorway standard and actually follows the reservation for the Eastern Freeway which was planned in the 1970s.
The Alderley to Dayboro section of the route passes through commercial, residential and rural zones, and features several tracts of bushland as it makes its way into the mountains northwest of Brisbane CBD.
