Timeframe
January 2021 – February 2022
The short time frame is driven by the need to minimise disruption to Type 1 Road Train access to the abattoirs on the eastern side of the bridge. With no alternate route to bypass Frenchmans Creek an innovative approach was required.
HIG’s role in this project was the deficiency assessment of the 2km section of Rockhampton – Emu Park Road, WCLT design, signal / lighting design and co-ordination of PUP works. The co-ordination of PUP relocation was critical to the successful delivery of this project.
This was the first time TMR has attempted to replace an entire bridge within such a short timeframe.
