The project upgraded approximately 10.7km of the Midland Highway between St Peters Pass and south of Tunbridge.
The project involved the construction of an additional in bound lane and road overpasses, removal of rail crossings, provision of service roads and installation of a traffic management system.
The project involved safety works identified by the Burdekin Road Safety Audit, including upgrading intersections along Edward Street in Ayr and in Brandon and the construction of two new overtaking lanes on the Bruce Highway in the Burdekin area.
This project involved the duplication of the Bruce Highway to four lanes from Temples Lane to the existing four lanes at Boundary Road and the upgrade of six intersections and was constructed in three stages:
