Burnett Highway (Biloela – Mt Morgan), Callide Creek, strengthen and widen bridge
The Callide Creek Bridge on the Burnett Highway is being upgraded to increase safety, reliability, and capacity.
TMR is replacing Roundstone Creek Bridge on the Dawson Highway to increase safety, reliability, capacity and improve flood immunity.
Built in 1945, it is one of the few remaining timber structures on the Dawson Highway.
The project will replace the existing bridge with a new concrete structure. This is part of an ongoing program of works to replace timber bridges in the Fitzroy District to support future growth in the agricultural and freight industries while ensuring a safer driving experience for all road users.
Works will also include upgrading the nearby intersection with Glenmoral Roundstone Road to accommodate B-Doubles.
The Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) initiative will also provide $6 million for the Roundstone Overflow project. These works will improve existing culverts as well as install new drainage structures to improve flood immunity.
The Queensland Government has invested $12 million through the State-controlled Road Network Upgrades – Priority Candidate, to the Roundstone Creek Bridge Replacement project. Investment ID 804161
The Roundstone Creek Overflow project is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland governments under the Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) initiative ($4.8 million Australian Government and $1.2 million Queensland Government). Investment ID 1510462
