Major roadworks have been funded by the State and Federal governments around the South Burnett<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 1, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

The $24.5 million upgrade of the D’Aguilar Highway under way just outside Kingaroy is just one of several major road projects earmarked for the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

The work currently taking place will create\u00a0dedicated turning lanes at the intersections of Sommerfelds Lane and Redmans, Ushers, Edenvale South and Edenvale North roads.<\/p>\n

Road shoulders and through lanes are also being widened.<\/p>\n

This is the first stage of a five-stage upgrade of the D’Aguilar Highway by RoadTek being undertaken for the State Government.<\/p>\n

It is expected to be completed by the end of June, conditions permitting.<\/p>\n

Joint Federal and State Government funding was also announced recently for three other local projects:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • $3.3 million for the Burnett Highway between Nanango and Goomeri for earthworks to improve roadsides, remove large hazards and install guardrails<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • $1.65 million for Wondai-Proston Road to upgrade an existing culvert where traffic is constrained to one lane to allow two-lane travel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • $110,000 to upgrade the intersection of the D\u2019Aguilar Highway, Burnett Highway and Drayton Street in Nanango<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
