ISIS Highway motorists will benefit from a safer, more efficient journey as works begin on a westbound overtaking lane between Bundaberg and Childers.
Hinkler MP Keith Pitt said the upgrades would ease congestion and deliver safer trips for road users.
“This section between Bundaberg and Childers carries between 4,300 and 6,600 vehicles per day and sadly, there have been four fatal accidents in the area where the overtaking lanes will be located,” Mr Pitt said.
“The westbound overtaking lane, between Park Estate Drive intersection and Wyper Park Scout Camp access road, will improve traffic flow leaving Bundaberg.
“A dedicated, right-turn lane will also be added at the Scout Camp access road.”
