Earthmoving equipment has begun clearing the edges of the Bunya Highway, north of Tingoora, as part of a major road upgrade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 9, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department Of Transport and Main Roads has begun a safety upgrade on a 1.94km section of the Bunya Highway, north of Tingoora.<\/p>\n

The $3.39 million project – between the Swartz and Burns road intersections – includes widening and strengthening the surface, installing guardrails and lengthening drainage.<\/p>\n

Designated zones on either side of the road will also be cleared to ensure they are free of obstructions.<\/p>\n

“These works will improve safety for motorists, extend the road’s longevity and reduce future maintenance costs,” DTMR Southern Queensland Regional Director Kym Murphy said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Traffic controllers, single-lane closures and speed restrictions will be in place to complete the works safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n

“Work will generally take place between 6:00am and 6:00pm, Monday to Friday, and every effort will be made to minimise disruption.<\/p>\n

“Motorists should observe all warning signs when approaching the roadworks and be aware of the changed conditions.”<\/p>\n

RoadTek will carry out the work, which is expected to be finished by the end of the year, weather permitting.<\/strong><\/p>\n
