SWQ: Landsborough Highway (Morven - Augathella), upgrade rest area facilities

 Work will involve:

• Construction of a new rest area, about 40.5km south of Augathella (blue dot).
• Widening the highway to provide a basic right turn lane to enter (northbound) and a basic left turn lane to enter (southbound).
• Providing rest area facilities, including toilets, water tank, shade and seating.
• Installing new signage and fencing the perimeter of the area.
• Decommissioning the existing rest area about at 46.22km south of Augathella (orange dot).

Work is being undertaken between 6am and 6pm up to nine days a fortnight and are expected to be completed in late July 2026, weather and conditions permitting.

We will try to minimise traffic delays as much as possible by using traffic control, speed restrictions and single lane closures. Motorists should slow down, drive carefully and follow the instructions of traffic controllers and construction signage and allow up to an additional 5 minutes for their journey.

Works may restrict wide-load vehicle access and permit holders should check the TMR Conditions of Operation Database before travelling.
