Project description

Pavement widening and strengthening works, including wide-centre line treatments, on high priority sections of the Bruce Highway between Ingham and Cairns.

Benefits

Funding

The Australian Government has committed $32.2 million to the project, in partnership with the Queensland Government.

Timetable

Works commenced in December 2015 and were completed in late 2018.
