Beaudesert to Beenleigh corridor safety improvements
The department has delivered safety improvements on sections of the Beaudesert to Beenleigh corridor.
Beaudesert–Beenleigh Road
Targeted road safety improvements including improved line marking/signage, audio tactile line marking, removing roadside hazards, localised road widening and safety barriers have been undertaken at various locations between Beaudesert and Beenleigh.
The culverts below the road north of the Schmidt Road intersection at Cedar Creek have been replaced to provide a safer curve alignment and road shoulder widening.
Road safety improvement works on Beaudesert–Nerang Road on a 3.7km section between Brooklands Drive and Beaudesert–Beenleigh Road, Tabragalba were completed in late 2021.
Funding for this project includes $6 million from the Australian and Queensland governments' commitment for the Beaudesert to Beenleigh corridor and $6 million from the Queensland Government.
