Premium Content Subscriber only The $367.2 million Rookwood Weir project reached a significant milestone on Friday, with the announcement in-river construction was underway. Rookwood Weir is being built on the Fitzroy River, 66 kilometres southwest of Rockhampton. Once complete, the more than 16-metre high weir would enable a transition to higher value agricultural land use and facilitate new industrial business opportunities in the region. The 18-metre high concrete Riverslea Bridge upgrade was also nearly complete. The upgrade would replace the existing crossing with a single 3.5-metre wide road lane, connecting the approaches to the bridge with the existing road, including passing bays at both ends, and demolishing the existing culvert crossing.
