The Tablelands region’s Palmerston Highway has today reopened to all traffic, including heavy vehicles.
The urgent works to open a single lane were jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and have been completed ahead of time.
The highway suffered significant landslips and pavement failures as a result of record rainfall associated with ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper.
Crews from the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) laid a fresh seal over a temporary track single lane between Crawford’s Lookout and Junction Road earlier this week.
Works included excavating 4200 tonnes of earth, installing 5400 tonnes of rock, laying 1500 tonnes of road base, followed by laying 150 tonnes of asphalt. Crews also installed 60 lengths of stormwater pipe.
Construction of the single lane section began on 8 January 2024 after the hill stopped moving and the ground had dried sufficiently to enable work to begin.
Operators of excess mass vehicles must apply for a permit through the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator at http://www.nhvr.gov.au/about-us/nhvr-portal.

Dennis, what you call “the government …” is nothing else but a corporation of common interests. What is behind (or control, if you prefer) this “government” of Australia? is probably more the plausible question. And then, you might understand also why the Australia people lost the plot?
Perhaps the government should stop manipulating Australia’s weather, and stop destroying our in frastructure in trying to create free real estate for super cities.
The public does not want them, but the New world Order does…. so guess who wins every time…the politicians puppet masters, the NWO.
