The Queensland Government has locked in $200 million of funds for a new inland highway, which it says will be spent regardless of whether the Federal Government decides to chip in the additional $800 million.
The Inland Freight Route was announced as the âsecond Bruce Highwayâ by the Labor Party during the 2020 State Election campaign in October, and will include major upgrades to the Gregory, Dawson and Carnarvon Highways to allow larger road trains to travel the route.
Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey said TMR will conduct planning across the entire route from Mungindi to Charters Towers to find the deficiencies in the existing road and determine projects that will be needed to address them.
What will happen if state doesn t get second Bruce funds?

A SELF-DESCRIBED alcoholic who struck and caused a truck to crash and roll last year has been jailed after he was caught drink driving when nearly five times the legal limit.
The offending driver Ngor Garang was already disqualified from driving until October 2028 because of his previous drink driving and traffic offences.
He was on parole for offences at Helidon Spa that included driving under the influence, driving when disqualified, driving without due care, and failing to stop at an accident.
In the new charges before the court, it was Garang’s slow driving behind the wheel of a mate’s car that caught the eyes of police not long before midnight.
