Drivers travelling between Gympie and the coast will have to take a detour with Gympie Connection Road to be shut for three months as part of work on the $1 billion bypass. The stretch of the road between Old Goomboorian Road and Tin Can Bay Road will be closed from Monday April 12 for three months to allow construction to continue. Vehicles will instead be diverted along Ascot and Tin Can Bay roads. Traffic management will also be in place between the North Coast rail line and Ascot Road for a 14 month stretch. Traffic detours and delays will be common on Gympie Connection Road for several months.
“Traffic control measures will be in place around Bolcaro Road to keep road users safe, and I encourage all drivers to please be mindful of these roadworks and the changed conditions,” Mr O’Brien said. Construction is underway on Bolcaro Road, East Deep Creek to build a new two-lane, 60m bridge over the Bruce Highway as part of the $1 billion Cooroy to Curra Section D Gympie Bypass
