Project description

The project strengthened and widened approximately 3.6 kilometres of narrow sealed sections on the Dysart-Clermont Road in Bowen Basin, Queensland. Narrow sections require passing, or the movement of oncoming vehicles to the unsealed shoulder. This poses safety risks, particularly for heavy vehicles.
Led by Isaac Regional Council, these upgrades will contribute to freight safety and efficiency, improve road reliability, and reduce vehicle travel time and operation costs.
The project will contributes corridor-level benefits by improving connectivity, particularly for heavy vehicles, while improving economic opportunities for existing and future industries such as agriculture, construction, mining, and energy.

Benefits

Improved road safety for all road users, improved freight productivity and access to freight gateways and improved efficiency and network reliability.

Funding

Total funding of $1.63 million (Australian Government commitment $1.30 million, Isaac Regional Council contribution $0.33 million).

Timetable

The project commenced construction early 2024 and was completed December 2024
