Project DescriptionThis is one of the 18 projects being delivered as part of the Australian Government's $508 million commitment to the Warrego Highway Upgrade Program.
This project involved the construction of eight overtaking lanes, both east and westbound, at four locations between Oakey and Dalby. BenefitsThe project will allow for safer overtaking movements and an increase in transport efficiency at this location on the Warrego Highway.
