Bruce Highway safety and infrastructure upgrades

Overview

Infrastructure improvements along Queensland’s Bruce Highway have progressed through various safety and freight-focused projects. Following the early opening of the upgraded Granite Creek Rest Area, which included dedicated heavy vehicle infrastructure and intersection changes, construction has moved to North Queensland.

New works have commenced between Ingham and Cardwell, focusing on road widening, drainage improvements, and culvert replacements to enhance flood immunity and safety. These efforts include a $13.76 million contract for a heavy vehicle rest area near the Kalpowar Road intersection, which will provide new northbound and southbound facilities.
