Good afternoon,
The Department of Transport and Main Roads would like to advise that reconstruction works on Mt Spec Road between the Little Crystal Creek Bridge and McLellands Lookout will commence on Monday 14 September 2020.
Reconstruction works on Mt Spec Road are being undertaken to ensure motorist safety and the ongoing integrity of the road. We are targeting completion of works at damaged sites prior to the 2020–21 wet season.
Works will be completed at night to minimise traffic disruption and the impact on local businesses and residents. Night works will take place between 6pm to 6amthroughout the duration of the project, except Fridays where work will be completed 7pm to 7am. Works are expected to be completed by late December 2020, weather and construction conditions permitting.
A full road closure of Mt Spec Road will be in place from Little Crystal Creek to McLellands Lookout during project working hours of 6pm to 6am Saturday to Thursday, and 7pm to 7am Friday night/Saturday morning. Road users will not be permitted onto the road during these work hours. The gates to the road at Little Crystal Creek and at Paluma Village will be closed during these hours. In an emergency situation that requires Queensland Emergency Services to travel to Paluma Village, access will be provided by the contractor.
Please find attached a list of Frequently Asked Questions containing further information about these works. TMR thanks you for your patience and understanding while these works are being completed. Should you have any further queries or would like to discuss any aspect of these works, please do not hesitate to contact TMR on the details below.
