Description:
Leighton Contractors has been awarded a construction contract by the Department of Main Roads to build the next major link for Queensland's Bruce Highway. Leighton Contractors will undertake works between Uhlmann Road and the Bribie Island overpass. The 6km project is the final section in a larger project to upgrade the Bruce Highway between Brisbane and Caboolture.
The scope of works include:
- widening of the highway to six lanes
- upgrading the Caboolture/Bribie Island Road split interchange, and
- widening of the Caboolture River bridges and Bribie Island overpass bridge with associated on and off ramps.
Upon completion the link will complete the Federal Government's plan to upgrade the Bruce Highway between Brisbane and Caboolture, leading to improved safety and reduced traffic congestion for commuters.
