The South Burnett Region Council reopened the Tingoora-Chelmsford Road on Monday after a two-month closure to realign a dangerous corner near Tingoora.
The Council advised that work crews have now put a primary bitumen seal on the road.
The Council anticipates a second seal will be applied in September or October, but this will be carried out under traffic control operations to avoid any further road closures.
Monday’s re-opening puts an end to the project, which originally began in late January but had to be delayed soon afterwards when eleven rare plants were found in the area.
The discovery of the rare plants caused a two month delay in the project’s schedule.
During construction, motorists were forced to take a lengthy detour around the project via the Wondai-Chinchilla Road and connecting roads.
