The Albanese and Crisafulli governments have delivered another major milestone in fixing the Bruce, with the upgraded Granite Creek Rest Area now open to motorists travelling between Gin Gin and Benaraby on Queensland’s lower central coast.
The upgraded facility provides safer and more comfortable rest opportunities for both heavy vehicle drivers and light vehicle motorists while improving safety at a key section of the Bruce Highway, south of Gladstone.
The Albanese and Crisafulli governments are getting on with fixing the Bruce and delivering a safer Bruce Highway with better rest facilities.
The completed project is another example of progress being delivered through the $9 billion Bruce Highway Targeted Safety Program, with construction completed ahead of schedule and more projects continuing to roll out between Gympie and Cairns.
To date, 18 projects have been completed and 47 are underway – from tender to design and construction – as part of the $9 billion Bruce Highway Targeted Safety Program funded on an 80:20 basis between the Albanese and Crisafulli governments.
All projects are being delivered at high-risk locations between Gympie and Cairns, with a further 52 tenders expected to be released to market this financial year as the program continues to progress.
