FNQ: Captain Cook Highway & Paradise Palms Drive intersection asphalt resurfacing

Source: Transport for NSW

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is about to start resurfacing works on the Captain Cook Highway at the Paradise Palms Drive intersection.

The works will involve asphalt resurfacing as part of TMR’s regular maintenance schedule to extend the life of the road pavement and reduce the formation of potholes. This will improve safety and travelling conditions for road users.

To reduce the impact on road users, works will be carried out at night from 6pm to 6am. Works will be undertaken from Monday 17 November 2025 to Wednesday 19 November 2025. Timeframes may be subject to change depending on the program of works and weather conditions.

For the safety of road users and maintenance crews, changed traffic conditions will be in place including temporary speed limit reductions, and single lane operation under coordination of traffic controllers and/or traffic signals while the works are carried out.

There may be times when access to properties directly adjacent to the works will be temporarily restricted. The contractor will contact impacted property owners directly, prior to any anticipated impacts.

Nearby properties may experience noise associated with the works, such as the sound of trucks and light machinery, and vibrations while the work is carried out. The contractor will take all reasonable and practicable actions to minimise impacts and any disruptions to property owners and other stakeholders.

Variable Message Signs (VMS) will be in place on the approaches to the work site to ensure motorists are aware in advance of the changed traffic conditions.

If you required further information about these works, please contact TMR via email at cairns.office@tmr.qld.gov.au or via phone on 4045 7144.
