The Townsville Ring Road, is a major road in Townsville, Queensland. The road has been constructed as the new A1/M1 (Bruce Highway) Route that bypasses the inner metro area of Townsville, Australia. The road was built in 4 stages with the first three stages built as a two-laned main road. The First Stage, The Douglas Arterial Road, opened in April 2005. The fourth stage involved duplication of the first three stages of the project and an additional four-lane link between the third stage to the Bruce Highway to the north-west of Townsville.

On the 24 October 2006, Surveying for the Hervey's Range Road Interchange had started, with construction on the interchange commencing during April 2007. Completion on the next two stages of the project was expected for mid/late-2008. Once these stages are complete, the road will officially be designated as the (A1) or National Highway 1 at the moment of opening, and in the long-term (after 2015), after duplication of the entire project (including construction of the Bohle plains Extension), the road will be designated as the M1.
