Cunningham Highway safety upgrades – Warwick to Inglewood
Planning is underway to make the Cunningham Highway safer between Warwick and Inglewood.
Feedback has been sought from communities between Warwick and Inglewood to identify potential safety improvements on the Cunningham Highway. This feedback is being used to plan for treatments that will reduce the risk of fatal and serious injury crashes on the highway.
The Cunningham Highway is an important connection between Goondiwindi and the Southern Downs. The safety of motorists and heavy vehicle drivers on this road is vital in ensuring economic development of industries in these areas.
Feedback received from the community is being used in the business case that will propose safety upgrades for future funding.
