The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) advises motorists of ongoing works to rehabilitate the Bremer River westbound bridge and install Variable Speed Limit Signs on the Warrego Hwy, Karalee between River Rd and Mt Crosby Rd.
What to expect
While works are underway, temporary night-time lane closures will continue to be implemented.
Westbound oversized loads exceeding 3.5m width travelling along this section of the Warrego Hwy, as well as SPV's (travelling bridge centreline travel) intending to use the westbound Bremer River Bridge must:
- Contact the site supervisor Steve Hauschild on 0499 409 946, 24 hours prior to arriving to site
- Use the contraflow (if eligible via QPS escorting) or seek an alternative route (if ineligible for QPS escort). Operators utilising the contraflow system must be escorted by QPS and follow all automated contraflow procedures – worksite traffic control are not permitted to assist in contraflow movements.
Any unplanned westbound movements exceeding 3.5m width may be held at the Dinmore Pads until travel conditions are suitable for westbound travel.
Eastbound oversized loads exceeding 3.5m width travelling along this section of the Warrego Highway must contact the site supervisor Allan Smith on 0408 920 699, 24 hours prior to arriving to site.
Timing
- Works to install Variable Speed Limit Signs are in progress and are expected to continue through to late 2026 (signage installation and commissioning), weather and construction conditions permitting.
- Typical construction hours are from 8pm to 6am, Monday to Sunday.
- Night works are required for road user safety and to avoid what would otherwise be extensive traffic queuing and disruption to the road network.
- While most of the works will be undertaken during this time, some out of hours works may be required.
Impacts
- Temporary traffic changes include, road shoulder and lane closures, roadworks speed limit reductions and short-term traffic disruptions. Please allow extra time when planning your travel and follow the directions of roadside signage and traffic controllers.
