CONGESTION on the Bruce Highway heading towards the Sunshine Coast has been cleared.
5.22pm: Cars travelling from Murrumba Downs to Beerburrum had been travelling at just 30km an hour with traffic banked up for 35kms.
Kym Cartwright from The Australian Traffic Network said traffic was cleared on the highway about 3pm.
"The Bruce Highway is travelling normally now," she said.
There are no issues on any of the other major highways or motorways.
Pine Rd at Richlands has been reopened after it was closed following an earlier crash.
2.30pm: According to Jayce Barker from ATN, the line of traffic headed towards the Sunshine Coast has been extended by around 35km.
All traffic is still moving at a top of 30km an hour.
Traffic has also become heavier on the M1, with delays being experienced from Robina back to West Burleigh.
It is still particularly heavy at Oxenford and Coomera near the theme parks.
Meanwhile, Pine Rd in Richlands has been closed following a two car crash at the intersection of Archerfield Rd.
The crash occurred around 1.30pm and four people were taken to hospital.
Their injuries are unknown at this stage.
1.03pm: Jayce Barker from ATN said cars are continuing to travel at a top of 30km an hour between Narangba and Caboolture but heavy congestion on the M1 and Gateway Motorway merge has been cleared.
Despite this, traffic is still causing problems closer to the Gold Coast, with reports of heavy congestion between Reedy Creek and West Burleigh.
There have also been reports of delays near Dreamworld at Coomera and Warner Bros. Movie World at Oxenford, as well as slow moving traffic through Robina and the Tugun Bypass.
An earlier crash at Browns Plains has cleared and a woman involved in a motorcycle crash at Mt Kilcoy has been airlifted to Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital suffering from serious head injuries.
11.52am: Earlier, the Pacific Motorway was also experiencing long delays, with traffic snaking back to the Gateway Motorway merge at Eight Mile Plains.
Traffic headed towards the Sunshine Coast on the Bruce Highway was moving at 20-30km/h between Narangba and Burpengary.
Jay Lane from the Australian Traffic Network said the congestion was not caused by any traffic crashes, and it appears that everyone is just heading on holiday at the same time.
"Everyone seems to be making the most of the two day space between now and the weekend," he said.
Police have tweeted asking those travelling on both the Bruce Highway and the M1 to have patience and stay calm.
The only delays being caused by crashes are on Browns Plains Rd at Browns Plains and Mt Kilcoy Rd at Mt Kilcoy.
No one was injured in the crash at Browns Plains around 11am this morning, but the left-hand lane heading east was blocked.
Mr Flood said traffic was building back from Ranchwood Ave to the Mt Lindesay Highway.
Meanwhile, a woman crashed her motorcycle around 10.26am this morning on Mt Kilcoy Rd.
The 28-year-old is suffering from serious head injuries and will be flown to hospital.
An emergency services spokesperson said paramedics were with the woman waiting on a helicopter.
