Boat Harbour Drive Upgrade
Upgrades to Boat Harbour Drive in Hervey Bay between Hunter and McNally streets should be completed by Christmas, Premier Anna Bligh said yesterday.
Ms Bligh made the announcement about the Main Roads project today as part of her government’s Community Cabinet meeting in the area.
“The $11.5 million road upgrade to the one-kilometre section of Boat Harbour Drive will significantly improve peak-hour traffic flow and safety in Hervey Bay and will make sure the city can cater for future growth,” she said.
“The project will widen the road to four lanes, upgrade eight intersections and provide a new road surface suitable for the expected growth during the next 15 years.
“A new concrete pedestrian footpath will link existing council pathways between Banksia Park Drive and McNally Street to the new signalised pedestrian crossing at Banksia Park Drive so pedestrians can cross the road safely.
