CQ Bruce Highway upgrade works on the way

Works to improve sections of the Bruce Highway between Bajool and Rockhampton will soon start with tenders closed as of last week. The works are being funded under the Bruce Highway, Pavement Widening package. The funding will rebuild rough and damaged sections at Bajool and Bobs Creek, and will also cover intersection upgrades and pavement widening to more than nine kilomteres of the Bruce Highway.

Approximately $32 million will go towards the upgrade and an average of 71 jobs will be supported over the life of the project which will be great for local economy. The works will also include shoulder and centre-line widening to improve safety for the 5,000 motorists who use this section of the highway every day.
