The Queensland and Australian governments initiated the Bruce Highway (Cooroy to Curra) Strategic Planning Study to investigate how best to improve safety, reduce delays and improve freight efficiency during the next 30 years whilst minimising impacts on existing communities and the environment.
To meet the strategic needs of the highway for the next 30 years and beyond, it was necessary to plan for the new highway corridor to be of rural motorway standard which caters for safe and high speed travel. To improve safety, the highway will be a limited access road which caters for an initial four-lane divided highway, providing two lanes in each direction with a wide central median. Provision has been made for a future six-lane case.
The existing highway will remain as a local arterial road and maintain connectivity and provide access to most of the local roads and properties that currently have direct access to the existing highway. The connections of existing network and local roads will be maintained by under/overpasses where feasible.
Community feedback since the March 2007 displays resulted in the following changes to Proposed Corridor.
1) Provision for the Woondum interchange to have all movements and thus cater for motorists seeking to head north, or coming from the north on the new corridor. These ramps have been included to and from Penny Road.
2) Shift the corridor further east in the general vicinity of the Curra State Forest to reduce the impact on freehold properties by utilising more state owned land.
