Bruce Highway — Corroy to Curra (Section B) duplication

The Government will provide $488 million to upgrade the Bruce Highway. This will address capacity, safety and route reliability issues relating to a 12‑kilometre section between Cooroy and Curra in south‑east Queensland.

The Bruce Highway is the primary road link between Cooroy and Curra — two growing regional centres. These population centres service major industries and export gateways in the region.

Better, safer roads for growing regional centres

A high crash area, from July 2002 and March 2009 there were 13 road fatalities along this section of the Bruce Highway.

Through this Government commitment, a four‑lane divided carriageway, 12 kilometres in length, will replace the existing two‑lane section of the road.

Widely spaced intersections along this section of highway combined with a wide median strip and restricted access to local traffic will ease capacity constraints and support greater efficiency, as well as improving road safety.
