East

To construct the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing and tackle some of the difficult terrain throughout the Lockyer Valley, a number of changes are being made to the local road network. This includes:

• entry to the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing via an overpass from the Warrego Highway at Helidon Spa. View Warrego Highway east interchange page
• closure of the median strip between Postmans Ridge Road and Twidales Road at Helidon Spa
• cul-de-sac of Postmans Ridge Road on the western side and construction of a new Postmans Ridge Road alignment along the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing on the eastern side at Postmans Ridge
• construction of a new Murphys Creek Road overpass bridge at Postmans Ridge. View Murphys Creek Road overpass bridge page
• creek crossings at Gatton Creek and Six Mile Creek at Postmans Ridge
• construction of underpasses at Paynter Road at Postmans Ridge, Gittins Road and McNamaras Road at Withcott, and Morleys Road at Ballard
• construction of an 800m long viaduct bridge along the escarpment between Wallens Road at Ballard and the New England Highway at Mount Kynoch. View viaduct page
