277:, but locals were concerned about traffic infrastructure and congestion. This included along Nerang–Broadbeach Road to the Gooding Drive roundabout. Diverting buses through residential streets was considered as part of improvements for Nerang–Broadbeach Road, which was opposed by 396 people in a petition tabled in parliament by Mermaid Beach MP Ray Stevens. In December 2011 it was revealed that public transport projects would be brought forward in time for the games, including an expanded light rail network and bus lanes along Nerang–Broadbeach Road. By April 2012, a new shared path for bicycles and pedestrians had been constructed from west of Alaska Avenue to Bermuda Street, and cycle lanes had been marked for the section between Riverview Road and Lawrence Drive. Future projects were also planned for, to provide further cycle lanes as well as bus priority measures along various sections of the road. In April 2013, a further $ 18 million worth of works were planned for, including $ 10 million for works beyond 2015. In October 2013, Member for Gaven Dr Alex Douglas countered public speculation by revealing that the government would not "widen Nerang–Broadbeach Road near the Pacific Motorway, despite the additional traffic expected from the Commonwealth Games, but would prepare and release a Transport Strategic Plan. As of 2014, future improvement works on the road are still planned, to be designed and constructed when funding is available.

The first stage of the project involved a new traffic light intersection at an extended Nielsens Road, which was completed by December 2001. The second phase, completed one year later, deviated Nerang–Broadbeach Road to meet Gooding Drive at the Robina Parkway roundabout, with the previous alignment becoming a local road with on-street parking. The third section of work, at Ross Street, upgraded the intersection and duplicated the Ross Street Bridge. It commenced in September 2002, and continued through to 2003.
