October 12, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Works to repair 1800km of roads in the Western Downs Regional Council area – including sections of the Bunya Highway and Chinchilla-Wondai Road – have begun.<\/p>\n

The flood recovery works, which will take place over the next 15 months, are being funded under the joint State \/ Federal Government Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.<\/p>\n

The work will repair damage caused by the heavy rainfall between November 2021 and May 2022 at 37 sites.<\/p>\n

It will include pavement, road shoulder and embankment repairs due to erosion, clearing table drains, culvert and drainage repairs, and removing silt and debris.<\/p>\n

Queensland Transport Minister Mark Bailey said temporary repairs began shortly after the rainfall to make sure roads were safe and usable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Since then, TMR has planned and prepared multiple packages of flood recovery works to ensure efficient delivery, value for money and quality management,\u201d Mr Bailey said.<\/p>\n

“In the Western Downs region, TMR completed floodway improvements on the Moonie Highway, and stabilised a steep slope on the Bunya Highway between Bell and Kumbia.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
