Road Stimulus Packages
Accelerated funding has been allocated through the following Road Stimulus Packages to increase investment in roads and transport infrastructure as part of The Queensland Economic Recovery Strategy.
The department has delivered 9km of pavement strengthening and widening of the floodway along the Flinders Highway between Julia Creek and Cloncurry at Scrubby Creek.
The project improved safety of road users by providing modern infrastructure to meet current design standards, replacing a total of 22 culverts, and reducing future pavement maintenance costs.
This project was jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland governments under the Roads of Strategic Importance initiative. Investment ID 1459426.
Construction was completed in late December 2023.
The pavement strengthening and widening of the Flinders Highway (Julia Creek – Cloncurry) at Scrubby Creek supported the objectives of the Roads of Strategic Importance program.
