The Airport Flyover is a road bridge over the Southern Cross Way in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The Airport Flyover links the Airport Link toll road with Airport Drive providing direct access to Brisbane Airport terminals. The East bound lanes were opened in early November 2010, more than a year earlier than originally planned.{{Cite news|url=http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/travel/airport-flyover-road-open-for-motorists-20101108-17jbk.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121231043737/http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/travel/airport-flyover-road-open-for-motorists-20101108-17jbk.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=31 December 2012 |title=Airport flyover road open for motorists |author=Marissa Calligeros |accessdate=24 March 2011 |date=8 November 2010 |work=Brisbane Times|publisher=Fairfax Media }} The westbound lanes were opened on 28 February 2011.
