Bruce Highway Upgrade Program

The Queensland Government is committed to improving the 1,671.3km Bruce Highway from Pine River to Cairns, focusing on capacity, safety, and flood resilience.

One of the key priorities of the Queensland Government is to deliver a long-term upgrade plan for the Bruce Highway.

Since July 2013, $10,107 billion in works has been delivered along the Highway, with 8 projects currently under construction, 15 in development and 13 in planning.

Key outcomes to date include:

  • 175 new bridges/overpasses
  • 66 new and upgraded rest areas/stopping places established
  • 653km of roadside safety barriers
  • 72 township entry treatments
  • 255km of wide centre line treatments
  • 100 new overtaking lanes
  • 211 protected right-hand turns
  • 99.6km of highway duplication
  • 9 flood immunity upgrade projects completed.

About the Bruce Highway Upgrade Program

The Bruce Highway Upgrade focuses on the 3 priority areas during its 15-year course:

  • Safety improvements to enhance the safety of the highway by implementing wide centre line treatments, intersection improvements, and safety barriers to reduce the risk of fatal and serious injury crashes for all road users.
  • Flood improvements by raising bridges and approaches and enhancing flood immunity on sections of the highway that are subject to frequent flooding. Whilst it may not be feasible at this time to provide an entirely flood-free route, roads are assessed to ensure a consistent standard is provided for that specific network link.
  • Capacity improvements to enhance economic opportunity through improved level of service on the highway. This is achieved through capacity improvement projects, including additional lanes, managed motorways, grade separation (separation of different flows of using physical means), and intersection upgrades.

Plan ahead in case of delays

As with any major construction program, there might be delays that could affect travel. It is advised to plan ahead and check for up-to-date details on QLDTraffic ( https://qldtraffic.qld.gov.au/ ) to help you plan your journey.
