Gore Highway (Pittsworth - Millmerran), various locations, rehabilitate pavement
This project involves rehabilitating sections of deteriorating pavement on the Gore Highway. Stage 1 will trial innovative and sustainable pavement rehabilitation systems and products. Results from the trial will inform how future stages of this project are implemented.
This project aims to address failing pavement partially due to highly reactive soil types and changing climate conditions on the Condamine River floodplain. The project will provide a more robust highway pavement and smoother ride for drivers. Using innovative pavement materials and systems trialled in Stage 1, the subsequent repairs will provide a more sustainable solution.
