Bruce Highway (Maryborough – Gin Gin), Saltwater Creek and Deadmans Gully, flood immunity upgrades
Construction is underway to improve flood immunity along an 11km section of the Bruce Highway between Maryborough and Torbanlea.
The Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) initiative involved providing a southbound (Bundaberg to Childers) overtaking lane on the Isis Highway near Bundaberg.
The overtaking lane, between Park Estate Drive and the Wyper Park Scout Camp turn-off, will improve safety and travel efficiency.
Works also included the installation of a dedicated right-turn lane for the service road/scout camp access road. The dedicated right-turn lane will improve safety by separating through and turning traffic and reducing the potential for rear-end crashes.
The project is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland governments on an 80:20 basis.
Investment ID 1219392
Construction was completed in June 2021, with a supplementary seal scheduled for September/October 2021 to finalise the project.
