Project description

Led by Isaac Regional Council, the project sealed and upgraded floodways along the Eaglefield Road in Bowen Basin, Queensland. The project will improve freight connectivity, productivity and safety, and facilitate economic opportunities for various industries such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and mining.
Eaglefield Road is important, as it links roads between the state routes of Kilcummin Diamond Downs Road and Suttor Developmental Road. Due to recent sealing works on adjoining Pasha Road, traffic is anticipated to increase, due to the development of agricultural industries, and proximity to a processing facility. The upgrades will therefore assist to meet the increased demand by improving the road’s level of service, overall safety, and travel time for heavy vehicles.

Benefits

Improved road safety for all users, freight productivity and access to freight gateways, and improved accessibility and connectivity of road networks.

Funding

Total funding of $1.56 million (Australian Government commitment $1.25 million, Isaac Regional Council contribution $0.31 million).

Timetable

This project commenced construction February 2025, and was completed May 2025
