I cant see how it would impact Laurel St. Your traffic can get out at Sicklefield Rd.
Someone is about to build the South Pine Rd-Stafford Rd section that will bypass the main EP shopping Centre. It may be the Govt or they may be getting the developers of the new shopping centre to build it.
A few years ago they completed the Bridgeman Rd extension and widening from Beckets Rd to Carseldine, to the left (west) of the corridor. A massive project that takes traffic directly joining Linkfield Rd and connecting to the Motorway at Carseldine/Bald Hills. They are currently upgrading the Wardell St-Samford Rd intersection at Enoggera. Labor "promised" a fly-over but Campbell reduced it to widening the intersection when he was elected.
Next time I go to Bunnings at Carseldine I'll have to check out what exactly they are doing around Ridley Rd.
