Brisbane Valley Highway (Ipswich – Harlin), Fernvale, upgrade pedestrian facilities
Dedicated right-turn lanes, pedestrian refuges, reduced speed limits, and town entry treatments will improve safety for road users through Main Street in Fernvale.
Improvements to approximately 14km of the Brisbane Valley Highway will reduce the rate and severity of crashes and improve traffic efficiency.
The Brisbane Valley Highway provides a busy route for motorists travelling to Brisbane and Ipswich. Traffic incidents currently result in significant delays or road closures. The proposed road treatments will help to address these issues and provide a safer road network.
This project is fully funded by the Queensland Government through its Targeted Road Safety Program. Investment ID 1465911
Works are now complete for the first 5.5km section of the Brisbane Valley Highway between Bayley Road and Sandy Creek (southern branch). Final sealing works will be completed in the warmer months (late 2023) to ensure a high-quality outcome and to protect the integrity of the sealing works.
This was the first package of works to be delivered as part of the safety improvements for the Brisbane Valley Highway between Warrego Highway and Fernvale.
Construction of the safety improvements is being delivered in 2 packages. The second package of works to be delivered at priority locations between Sandy Creek (South) and Fernvale is now underway. The project is expected to be completed late 2024, weather and construction conditions permitting.
