For years Maleny-Kenilworth Road has been in poor condition and have
not kept up with thr ever increasing volume of traffic flow.
Another part of Maleny - Kenilworth Road is about to undergo an upgrade. The 1.5km stretch between Fritz Gully and Jager Drive is about to be upgraded at a cost of some $2.6 million dollars.
This section of road was constructed in the early 1950’s and has served the area very well, however the road has of recent times detiorated rapidly and is now in need of a safety upgrade.
Contracts have been let to widen the road to more than twice its current width, rehabilitating the road surface and replacing the old timber bridge over Fritz Gully with a new concrete structure.
Nicklin MP Peter Wellington said residents had been pushing for the upgrade for years. The upgrade will significantly improve safety for all road users, not just locals but also for the hundreds of tourists drive that road each weekend.”
The current upgrade is scheduled to be finished by September.
It is expected that this will be the first of about $15 million worth of improvements along the road were scheduled for the next few years.
Further roadworks at Reeseville Road were scheduled to start later this year and design for improvements to the section between Cambroon Creek and Booloumba Creek Road was underway.
