Horizontal directional drilling underneath the Bruce Highway are showing once again how trenchless technology boosts major projects but minimises disruption.
The Queensland works are of a major new intersection on the key arterial and the drilling will will help prepare for future lighting and telecommunications connections.
Works are taking place in the northbound and southbound lanes, starting near the Dohles Rocks Rd exit and will move progressively north to Anzac Ave.
Queensland Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has urged motorists to be warned of the nightworks between the hours of 7pm and 5am.
The project team will be drilling under the highway, using horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to install conduits underground without digging up and damaging the roads.
By avoiding open trenches, HDD reduces ground disturbance and vegetation clearing, shortens time on site and limits traffic disruption.
TMR said every effort will be made to “minimise disruption” and thanks and thanks road users in advance for their patience.
