More upgrades are on the way along the D’Aguilar Highway between Kingaroy and Nanango, as part of a multi-million-dollar State Government program.<\/p>\n

Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the works would improve safety along the important connector.<\/p>\n

“This month, we\u2019ll be upgrading the Hodgleigh North Road and Cairns Street intersections,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This includes dedicated left and right turning lanes installed at the D’Aguilar Highway and Hodgleigh North Road intersection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe works will also see the Hodgleigh North Road intersection moved about 100 metres north.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Further along, a dedicated right-turn lane will be installed at the southern Cairns Street intersection along with raised medians to improve pedestrian safety.<\/p>\n

“Wide centre line treatment, audio tactile line marking and raised retroreflective pavement markers will also be installed along the highway between Parsons Road and Peterson Drive.”<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said these works were the third package of a larger safety project for the area.<\/p>\n

“As part of our commitment to improve safety between Nanango and Kingaroy, we’ve already installed dedicated turning lanes at the intersections of Sommerfelds Lane as well as Redmans, Ushers, Edenvale South and Edenvale North roads,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

“Drivers are already enjoying the benefits of new turning lanes at several intersections as part of the multi-million-dollar safety improvements being delivered.”<\/p>\n

  • Millis Way \/ Darli Street intersection \u2013 dedicated right-turn lanes installed for both side roads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
