Source: Department of Transport and Main Roads - Heavy Vehicles Unit (01.05.2025)
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will undertake works to build a new ablution block at David Hall Monument rest area between Mount Isa and Camooweal, Barkly Highway.
What are the changes?
Earthworks will occur from Tuesday 29 April 2025 - Tuesday 20 May 2025 weather and construction conditions permitting.
For the safety of road users and maintenance crews, the rest area will remain closed for the duration of the works.
What are the changes?
A new ablution block is being installed to encourage drivers to stop, rest and reduce fatigue.
The works will involve asphalt resurfacing of the access to the facility to extend the life of the road pavement and reduce the formation of potholes. This will improve safety and travelling conditions for road users.
The resurfacing works may include the use of machinery to mill the existing road materials. This process may cause noise and vibrations.
We apologise for any disruptions and thank the community for their patience and cooperation during these important works.
