“Traffic control measures will be in place around Bolcaro Road to keep road users safe, and I encourage all drivers to please be mindful of these roadworks and the changed conditions,” Mr O’Brien said. Construction is underway on Bolcaro Road, East Deep Creek to build a new two-lane, 60m bridge over the Bruce Highway as part of the $1 billion Cooroy to Curra Section D Gympie Bypass
A series of bridges is also taking shape as part of the first contract of the Section D project, with work about to begin on two 250m two-lane bridges over Six Mile Creek, two 105m, two-lane bridges over Tin Can Bay Road and Moody Creek, and a 50m two-lane underpass at Keefton Road.

As we head into the weekend and the end of the kids’ first week back at school, let’s hope the promise of 2021 lives up to the expectations. Have a great weekend. I’m off to a 50th birthday party where the theme is “F”. Should be a hoot.
Haulage crossings will be constructed on the east side of Gympie within weeks. Wide Bay MP Llew O Brien said construction of the first crossings on the local road network would begin around East Deep Creek in early February, which will provide access for machinery and materials and will significantly reduce the number of construction vehicles on local roads. When completed, the crossings will reduce disruption for local road users, and they re a welcome step forward in the much-needed four-lane Gympie Bypass. Mr O Brien said the roadworks would include the construction of temporary road pavements, installing rumble grids within the work areas, and installing signage for traffic management.
