Maroochydore - Noosa Road (David Low Way), Bli Bli Bridge upgrade, planning
Planning for a future upgrade of Bli Bli bridge has proposed a new bridge to the north of the existing bridge.
Key features include a wider bridge deck with two lanes of traffic (one in each direction), road shoulders and dedicated active transport facilities.
Active transport improvements include a wider path for pedestrians, bike riders and mobility device users on the southern side of the new bridge with active transport paths connecting to Bli Bli village and Muller Park.
The proposed planning layout includes the ability to convert the bridge to four lanes should traffic demands require this in the future.
The Queensland Government remains committed to maintaining the existing Bli Bli bridge to allow continued safe operation for all users.
Regular inspections are conducted as part of the structures maintenance program to monitor its condition and enable any necessary repairs.
Planning has been completed and the project is now closed.
Timeframes for future stages are unknown and will depend on future funding commitments and competing statewide priorities.
Project priorities and funding needs are reviewed and re-evaluated regularly by the department to ensure that as many positive road outcomes as possible are obtained within a finite budget.
