Prioritized Safety Upgrades for Key Queensland Freight Route
Safety upgrades are set to commence on a crucial Queensland freight corridor, which accommodates up to 15,000 vehicles daily.
Planning is underway for a series of road upgrades along the 60-kilometre Warrego Highway stretch between Toowoomba and Dalby, notorious for its poor crash history.
- Road widening
- Flattening road edges
- New signage and line marking
- Removal of roadside hazards
- Installation of dedicated turn lanes at Speed Road near Oakey
Delivered under the Targeted Road Safety Program, the project aims to implement cost-effective, high-impact safety improvements, including the aforementioned upgrades.
The design was completed in September, with construction scheduled to start in late 2025 and continue into 2026.
