Spiegelhauer Road receives major upgrade
An unsealed road that leads to iconic Townsville locations such as Crystal Creek and Paluma Dam has been upgraded.
The Spiegelhauer Road upgrade has received two rounds of funding under the Australian Government’s Black Spot program totalling $1.07 million.
Stage one received $390,685 and involved sealing more than 400 metres of unsealed road and the installation of guard rails.
Stage two received a further $659,500, which allowed for a road realignment, sealing of a further 800 metres of the road, the installation of warning signage and more guard rails.
Townsville City Council Infrastructure Services Committee chairperson Kurt Rehbein said Spiegelhauer Road had been identified as a location for Black Spot funding due to several crashes with tourists who were unfamiliar with the conditions or lacked experience in wet conditions.
Date Time
Road reconstruction to enhance access to popular precinct
Council’s focus on improving infrastructure across Townsville is continuing with a project to reconstruct two streets in Currajong beginning next week.
Illuka and Palara streets are in a mostly residential area and provide access to the popular Warrina Precinct – home to Otto’s Markets, ice-skating rink, cinema and other shops.
The road upgrade has received $348,000 in funding under the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.
Council Infrastructure Services Committee chairperson Kurt Rehbein said the improvements to Illuka and Palara streets would be welcomed by local residents and businesses.
