This project included the replacement of three bridges:

– Leichhardt Highway Banana Creek Bridge Replacement

– Burnett Highway Callide Creek Bridge Widening

– Dawson Highway Roundstone Creek Bridge Replacement

The benefits of this program and the replacements of the timber bridges included

– Improved structural integrity of the bridges with new and wider concrete structures.

– Provide access for higher mass limit (HML) vehicles and improve freight connectivity.

– A fit-for-purpose structure to accommodate expected growth in freight traffic and support economic productivity.

– A consistent driving environment by matching the approach road height with the bridge height.

– Improved road geometry and alignment to current standards.

– Reduced bridge maintenance and limited additional closures and/or traffic restrictions.

– Improved flood immunity (fewer and less frequent road closures).

– A consistent driving environment by matching the approach road height with the bridge height works.
