Nicklin Way

Nicklin Way is a major road in Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. It is named after former Queensland Premier Frank Nicklin, who opened the road on 5 June 1965. It runs from the southern end of the Sunshine Motorway at Mooloolaba in the north to Caloundra in the south, with the route signed as State Route 6. With the population of Sunshine Coast growing quickly, the road is often prone to congestion.
The construction of the road included the construction of concrete bridges spanning the Mooloolah River, Currimundi Lake and Tucker's Creek at Mooloolaba. The bridges spanning Mooloolah River and Currimundi Lake are named McKenzies Bridge and Ahern Bridge respectively.

Upgrades

A project to improve safety and capacity on a section of the road, at a cost of $7 million, was completed in November 2020.

A project to provide a new intersection with the road, at a cost of $18.2 million, was in the detailed design stage in August 2022.
