Realigned road nearly ready

TRAFFIC will soon be switched to a new section of Steve Irwin Way near Beerburrum. The roadworks, required for the Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade, realign a 1km section of Steve Irwin Way south of Glasshouse Mountains. Transport and Main Roads said the alignment was scheduled to start in the coming weeks with traffic to then be switched over in stages. In the meantime drivers face reduced speed limits. “Switching traffic to the new section of Steve Irwin Way will be undertaken in stages,” a TMR spokesperson said. “These works will cause short-term traffic disruptions with changes to traffic flow, reduced speed limits, temporary road shoulder closures and occasionally a single lane closure.
