The Federal Government will be putting $1.6 million towards upgrades to the Wide Bay Highway.<\/p>\n

The funding was announced by\u00a0Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are all State roads, which means the Queensland Government is responsible for their improvement, repair and maintenance, but this funding from the Australian Government encourages them to prioritise and fast track these projects and get on with the job of making these roads safer for all road users,” Mr O’Brien said.<\/p>\n

Work will be carried out along the full length of the highway, from Goomeri to Bells Bridge, on an “as needed” basis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will include clearing, the installation of guardrails and new culverts.<\/p>\n

Mr O\u2019Brien said the projects would enhance road safety while also supporting construction activity and local jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis funding provides a critical boost to local jobs and Wide Bay\u2019s economy and it also delivers upgrade works to help keep people safe on our roads,\u201d Mr O\u2019Brien said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
