Beaudesert–Beenleigh Road, Milne Street to Tallagandra Road, duplicate to four lanes
This project will duplicate Beaudesert–Beenleigh Road between Mount Warren Boulevard and Tallagandra Road.
Bruce Highway (Townsville-Ingham) upgrade program
The department is undertaking concurrent upgrades to improve safety, efficiency and roadside facilities on the Bruce Highway between Townsville and Ingham.
A new northbound overtaking lane is being constructed between Leichhardt Creek and Lilypond Creek, with additional safety improvement in the nearby area through the installation of wide centre line treatment. These one-metre-wide separations between oncoming traffic lanes have been shown to greatly reduce the risk of head-on collisions.
As part of the same program of works, upgrades are also being made to the Christmas Creek rest area to install ablutions, improve turn lanes into the rest area and improve conditions for heavy vehicles.
Benefits
- Improves safety
- Improves network efficiency
- Increases traffic flow
- Better road access
- Contributes to economy
- Contributes to regional growth
