A big road-patching project in Thurmaston will require 19 different roads to be shut at different times over the next month.
The next stages of the $12.6 billion Bruce Highway upgrade are underway with targeted works between Gin Gin and Miriam Vale.
Close to 80 people will be employed on the $43.45 million safety upgrades including new overtaking lanes, wide centre lines and intersection upgrades carried out from the Charnwood Road intersection all the way to Fairbairn Flats.
The Australian and Queensland governments are jointly funding the $24 million Charnwood Road to Palm Creek project and $7.7 million Granite Creek project, while the $11.74 million Palm Creek to Fairbairn Flats project is fully Australian Government-funded.
