Brisbane Valley Highway (Ipswich – Harlin), Fernvale, upgrade pedestrian facilities
Dedicated right-turn lanes, pedestrian refuges, reduced speed limits, and town entry treatments will improve safety for road users through Main Street in Fernvale.
The department is progressing with design work to improve safety for the Brisbane Valley Highway.
Improvements to approximately 14km of the Brisbane Valley Highway will reduce the rate and severity of crashes and improve traffic efficiency.
The Brisbane Valley Highway provides a busy route for motorists travelling to Brisbane and Ipswich. Traffic incidents currently result in significant delays or road closures. The proposed road treatments will help to address these issues and provide a safer road network.
This project is fully funded by the Queensland Government through its Targeted Road Safety Program. Investment ID 1465911
Design is progressing and expected to be completed in mid-2022. Construction will follow later in the year, weather and construction scheduling permitting.
Below is the proposed design for the Brisbane Valley Highway safety improvements.
