Detailed designThe department is undertaking detailed design for the duplication of Caboolture-Bribie Island Road between Old Toorbul Point Road and Saint Road, including signalisation of the Volz Road intersection.
Detailed designThe department is planning sequential upgrades to improve safety, ease congestion and improve traffic flow and connectivity on critical sections of Caboolture-Bribie Island Road.
The road will be upgraded to 4 lanes, with a median-divided cross section for its entire length.
The department has developed the Bribie Island Road Upgrade Strategy which identifies a program of works to deliver upgrade projects sequentially on Caboolture-Bribie Island Road.
As projects are progressed, consultation with key stakeholders and the community will be undertaken.
Upgrading Caboolture-Bribie Island Road will help ease congestion, improve safety and flood immunity in critical areas.
Construction of the Old Toorbul Point Road intersection upgrade was completed in early October 2021. The upgrade of Regina Avenue intersection to install new traffic signals was completed in March 2023. Detailed design is underway for the duplication of Caboolture-Bribie Island Road between Old Toorbul Point Road and Saint Road, including signalisation of the Volz Road intersection.

Detailed design is underway for a proposed upgrade of the Booral Road and Boundary Road intersection at Urangan.
Planning is underway to improve flood immunity and safety on a section of Booral Road at Bunya Creek, including the Main Street intersection.
We are developing a rail corridor vision and a staged program of rail priorities to 2051 on the North Coast Line between Brisbane and Gympie North.
The $1.162 billion Section D: Woondum to Curra project is a new 26km, 4-lane divided highway between the existing Bruce Highway interchange at Woondum, south of Gympie and Curra.
Planning is complete and the detailed design stage has commenced for a new four-lane section of the Bruce Highway to the east of Tiaro. The project will increase the flood immunity, safety and efficiency of the Bruce Highway and future-proof the road to cater for growing traffic volumes. It will also remove a significant number of heavy vehicles from the Tiaro township, improving safety and liveability for residents.
This project will provide Intelligent Transport System infrastructure at various locations along the Bruce Highway between Pine River and Cairns.
This project involves a 62km realignment and upgrade of the Bruce Highway to 4 lanes between Cooroy and Curra and is among Queensland's highest priority road projects.
The Bundaberg Integrated Transport Strategy is being jointly developed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads and Bundaberg Regional Council to develop an overarching framework that aims to integrate plans and policies, current and future, relating to the movement of people and services.
In October 2007 Transport and Main Roads (then Queensland Transport) engaged GHD to undertake a study to identify a rail corridor (for freight traffic) to connect the Port of Bundaberg to the existing rail network via the North Coast line. The study report determined that protection of the corridor within the local government planning scheme was not warranted at the time, and the project was closed.

The department is progressively upgrading and sealing the gravel sections of Monto - Mount Perry Road to improve road user safety and comfort, and reduce future maintenance requirements.
This upgrade will improve flood resilience for Hervey Bay and surrounding communities and involves pavement realignment, widening and culvert upgrades.
Repairs are underway across southern Queensland after extensive and severe damage to the state-controlled road network was caused by multiple heavy rainfall and flooding events in 2022.
Construction will commence this year on a new roundabout at the intersection of Tin Can Bay Road and Bayside Road, at Tin Can Bay.
A new facility is being constructed in the Maryborough region, to manufacture the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program fleet.
