TRAFFIC NOTICE: Gladstone – Mt Larcom Road Traffic Changes
As part of the Gladstone-Mt Larcom Road upgrade, WICET would like to advise a section of the new carriageway to the north of the existing road has been opened to traffic. The new and permanent WICET site access intersection will also be opened in the near future.
As a result, road users should note the following changes in traffic conditions:
- Gladstone-Mt Larcom Road traffic travelling toward Gladstone diverts onto the new carriageway for 700 metres through to the Anabranch Bridge. Traffic travelling toward Yarwun is continuing to use the existing carriageway. The speed limit for traffic travelling in both directions has been reduced to 60km/hour.
- Once the new WICET intersection is completely opened dedicated turning and merging lanes will enable road users to turn right when entering or leaving the project site. Until the intersection is fully opened, there is no right turn into or out of site.
Refer to map for further details.
