A Central Queensland bridge upgrade is expected to unlock the potential of the freight, agriculture and mining industries.
Works to replace the ageing Barcoo River Bridge will begin in April, a $7 million project delivered as part of a commitment by the Australian and Queensland Governments to fast-track 22 regional projects.
Federal Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said the location of the Barcoo River Bridge, on the Dawson Developmental Road between Springsure and Tambo, was important in unlocking the vast potential of the freight, agriculture and mining industries.
“Replacing this bridge will help connect regional businesses to local and international markets and better connect regional communities,” he said.
