Road Conditions SWQ: Carnarvon Highway (Injune-Rolleston) - Baffle Creek Bridge upgrade
Source: Department of Transport and Main Roads
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will be starting early works to upgrade the Baffle Creek bridge on the Carnarvon Highway (Injune - Rolleston), approximately 33km north of Injune from 16 September 2024.
Work will include:
- Constructing a sidetrack around the bridge.
- Widening the existing Baffle Creek bridge from 7.32m to 10.4m.
- Widening the bridge approaches.
- Installing new bridge rail and guardrail.
Works will be carried out between 6am and 6pm up to ten days a fortnight and are expected to be completed by late October 2025, weather and conditions permitting.
The Baffle Creek bridge will be closed following construction of the sidetrack, to enable works on the bridge upgrade to take place. The side-track will be able to be used by most vehicles, however, restrictions will be in place for wide-load vehicle access and permit holders are encouraged to check the TMR Conditions of Operation Database before travelling.
We will try to minimise traffic delays as much as possible by using single lane closures, traffic control and speed restrictions. Motorists should slow down, drive carefully and follow the instructions of traffic controllers and construction signage and allow up to an additional 15 minutes, for their journey.
