Upcoming reseal works on state-controlled roads

Back

The Department of Transport and Main Roads has advised that they will soon start programmed maintenance works on various state-controlled roads throughout the South Burnett and Gympie Regional Council areas.

Programmed maintenance includes bitumen resealing where sections of road have reached a predetermined intervention level and require improvement. The reseal program is undertaken annually and works are prioritised according to the age and condition of the seal on the road.

Reseal works are scheduled to commence at the end of March 2020 and will be completed by mid-April 2020, weather permitting. The department thanks you in advance for your cooperation while these works are carried out.

During the works, nearby residents, businesses and road users can expect the following:

  • Travel delays: Motorists can anticipate medium traffic delays while the spray seal is applied to the pavement. Traffic controllers may stop traffic briefly to ensure the road surface is safe to drive on and to prevent vehicle damage from the works. Please allow an additional 15-20 minutes if travelling on an affected road during these works.
  • Roadside parking restrictions: No parking will be permitted on the road shoulder within works sites during the specified work period to ensure the safety of motorists and to prevent vehicle damage.
  • Private property access restrictions: Vehicle access to private property may be temporarily restricted within active sites for a short period of time. The team will endeavour to minimise any access restrictions and will advise any affected property owners of imminent access disruptions where possible.
  • Changed traffic conditions: Speed restrictions, lane closures and potential detours may be in place during the works. Motorists are urged to drive to the changed conditions and obey all signage and traffic controllers’ directions.

Works will be undertaken between 6am and 6pm, weather permitting.
