The Queensland Government would like to advise of upcoming Energex works on the Bruce Highway and in Goodrich Road West and Goodrich 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.
