Widening of Urraween Road to start this week

Fraser Coast residents travelling along one of Hervey Bay’s key east-west road links will soon have a safer and smoother journey with work starting on a six-week project to widen sections of Urraween Road.

The $365,000 Fraser Coast Regional Council project, which is being carried out by local construction and engineering company Grand Civil, starts on Thursday 16 April and is expected to be completed by late May or early June, weather permitting.

Two sections of the road pavement will be widened on both sides of Urraween Road from the Maryborough Hervey Bay Road to Madsen Road.

Traffic management will be in place for the duration of the works, which will include earthworks and excavation, placement of road pavement, asphalt surfacing, minor drainage works, kerb edging, line marking and signage, and top dressing and turfing disturbed areas.
