Road Stimulus Packages
Accelerated funding has been allocated through the following Road Stimulus Packages to increase investment in roads and transport infrastructure as part of The Queensland Economic Recovery Strategy.
An upgrade is being delivered to a 1.5km section of Proserpine-Shute Harbour Road in Cannonvale.
The upgrade comprises of 3 projects, which will widen Proserpine - Shute Harbour Road from 2 to 4 lanes, build a new shared pathway and upgrade key intersections between Paluma Road and Tropic Road.
Proserpine - Shute Harbour Road is the sole arterial road linking the Bruce Highway and Proserpine to the Whitsunday townships of Cannonvale, Airlie Beach, Jubilee Pocket and the port of Shute Harbour.
This section of the road sees an average of 26,640 traffic movements a day and has a history of road crashes.
This upgrade will improve traffic flow and increase safety for all road users both now and into the future.
We are currently in the design phase for this project.
Scope, cost and timing is subject to further project development, site investigations, market engagement and consideration.
