Toowoomba Second Range Crossing

Overview:

• The Toowoomba Second Range Crossing (TSRC) is a bypass route that takes heavy vehicle traffic around Toowoomba rather than through it.
• The A$1.6 billion project is one of Queensland's highest priority infrastructure projects, and has been given the largest Australian Government commitment to a single regional road project in Queensland history.
• The 41 km highway will bypass the city of Toowoomba, and improve traffic conditions and road safety in the region, in particular reducing the number of heavy vehicles travelling through the Toowoomba city centre.
• Construction is expected to be complete in late 2018 after which Nexus is contracted to operate and maintain the road for 25 years.
