This project will construct six overtaking lanes on the Capricorn Highway between Rockhampton and Emerald (three east bound and three west bound) including wide centre line treatments and installation of delineation and signage on sections of the road to provide improved drive guidance.
The project will improve the overall service standard of the Capricorn Highway by improving safety, connectivity and accessibility by reducing flood impacts.
The Australian Government contribution is capped at $15.2 million with the Queensland Government contributing $3.8 million, subject to Queensland providing 20 per cent of project cost.
Construction commenced in February 2020 and was completed in December 2020.
