A joint project between the State Government and the South Burnett Regional Council to upgrade Byee Road over the past 12 months cost $683,000.
The project rebuilt, widened and sealed Byee Road and upgraded the Kangaroo Yard Road intersection at Wheatlands.
The Byee Road upgrade was one of more than 250 projects delivered in Queensland as part of the Roads and Transport Alliance over the past 12 months.
Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said $120 million had been invested in infrastructure and initiatives.
Local Government Association Queensland CEO Greg Hallam said the Roads and Transport Alliance was created 19 years ago through a shared desire by the State, the LGAQ and Queensland councils to improve road safety and connectivity for local communities.
“Nineteen years on, the Alliance is continuing to deliver with the collaboration between local government and State Government as strong as ever,” Mr Hallam said.
Other nearby Alliance projects in 2020-21 included:
- Upgraded Jondaryan Saint Ruth Road from single to dual-lane – Toowoomba Regional Council ($1.343 million)
- Straightened and re-sealed Atkinson Dam Road, a B-double haulage route between Gatton and Coominya – Somerset Regional Council ($100,000)
