Cunningham Highway (Warwick – Inglewood), improve safety
The project involved upgrading infrastructure to improve safety, provide a better driving experience for all road users and reduce the risk of fatal and serious injury crashes.
Safety treatments for the 100km section of the Cunningham Highway, between Warwick and Inglewood, included road widening, removal of roadside hazards, installation of protected right turn lanes at selected intersections, and the installation of double barrier centre line marking.
The Cunningham Highway is an important connection between Goondiwindi and the Southern Downs. The safety of motorists and heavy vehicle drivers on the highway is vital in ensuring economic development of industries in these areas.
