A section of Eumundi-Noosa Road with a significant crash history is set to receive safety upgrades with a focus on wider center lines and hazard removal.
Transport and Main Roads regional director, North Coast region, Scott Whitaker said, “Road safety is the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ (TMR) top priority.”
“With over 15,000 vehicles using Eumundi-Noosa Road each day, this is a critical route for both the local community and tourists and the project will provide a safer and smoother journey for all.
“This section of Eumundi-Noosa Road has a significant crash history despite the relatively low traffic volume and the project will improve overall safety for all road users.
“Eumundi-Noosa Road is part of the department’s Principal Cycle Network and the safety improvements will encourage safer, more frequent bike riding along this scenic route.”
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will be delivering improvements along a section of Eumundi-Noosa Road between Lenehans Lane, Doonan and Beckmans Road, Noosaville, to create more efficient and safer journeys for the growing community in this area.
Safety improvement works will include installing wide centre line treatment, road widening and resurfacing, removing roadside hazards and providing sealed shoulders and safer road markings and provisions for bike riders.
Works are to commence mid-2024, weather and construction scheduling permitting.
The $20 million Eumundi-Noosa Road safety improvements project is funded on a 50:50 basis under the Road Safety Program by the Australian Government and the Queensland Government.
