Minister for Transport and Main Roads The Honourable Mark Bailey
A $24 million upgrade is under way to widen and seal more than 30 kilometres of the Richmond-Winton Road.
The upgrade will also and replace key structures, including culverts, and improve road safety and travel times on the key regional connector, as part of an $364.68 million Australian Government to enable the fast roll-out of safety treatments on roads across Queensland.
This includes $5.39 million to seal additional sections of the Richmond-Winton Road, helping reduce deaths and serious injuries as part of the $3 billion nationwide Road Safety Program.
The investment also includes $16.3 million committed to boost delivery of immediate benefits to the regional economy while providing long-lasting infrastructure capable of supporting growth well into the future.

This specific discovery was in the Queensland portion of the Eromanga basin, next to Cooper Creek, from where the name of the new dinosaur species is derived.
A reconstruction of the osteological remains and limb-size comparisons using 3D surface scan modelling, led to a comparative understanding of the appendicular skeleton between the Australian finds and their South American counterparts, who were found to be slightly larger.

Daily Mail reports that dinosaur bones are typically large, heavy and fragile, and carefully preserved in museums thousands of kilometers apart, making comparisons between dinosaur fossils challenging. Fortunately, modern technology is rife with possibilities that help bridge this distance, especially through the use of 3D scans . The 3D scans we created allowed me to carry around 1
