Brisbane Valley Highway safety upgrades

Planning is now underway for the next phase of upgrades to improve safety along the Brisbane Valley Highway.

These improvements will build on work already in progress and will be shaped with input from the community. An upcoming opportunity for engagement will help ensure priorities continue to reflect local needs and deliver meaningful safety outcomes. Locations and details of safety upgrades will be confirmed as the project progresses.
