Project DescriptionThis project involved a re-alignment of the Bruce Highway, north of Gin Gin between Cabbage Tree Creek and Carmen Road and at Back Creek Range. The improvements will provide an improved alignment with a wider road surface on a flatter grade.

Other benefits include:
- shorter travel time
- higher operating speeds
- improved productivity through reduced operating costs for freight vehicles
- reduced travel times through an increased number of passing opportunities
