The Queensland Government would like to advise of upcoming Energex works on the Bruce Highway and in Goodridge Road West and Goodridge Road East (near the Dohles Rocks Road overpass) on Wednesday 8 October 2025, between 9pm and 4am.

The Bruce Highway will remain open to motorists, however intermittent traffic holds (of approx. 10 minutes) will occur for both northbound and southbound traffic between 1am and 3am to safely remove overhead power lines.

Access for emergency services will be maintained during this time.

Motorists are encouraged to plan their trips and allow extra travel time due to potential delays.

 

Works on the Bruce Highway and in Goodridge Road West and Goodridge Road East (near Dohles Rocks Road)

Works include: 

  • removing existing power poles located in Goodridge Road East and Goodridge Road West.

  • holding highway traffic to safely disconnect and remove the existing overhead power lines from above the Bruce Highway.

This essential work follows Energex’s recent installation of new underground electrical cables in the area.

These works are critical to prepare for the construction of the new southbound exit and northbound entry ramps for the Bruce Highway – Dohles Rocks Road to Anzac Avenue upgrade project (Stage 1).
