The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has announced that heavy vehicles can now travel through Developmental Road.
The Springton Creek Bridge along Developmental Road in central Queensland was originally closed in June due to an ongoing grassfire, with heavy vehicle restrictions now changed on a temporary side-track around the bridge.
All vehicles operating under OSOM guidelines and permits are now allowed to travel on the side-track centreline at a maximum speed of 10kph, gaining access through the region and onto Developmental Road.
The Queensland TMR department says conditions may change in the event of wet weather, with the side-track to remain in place until work is done reinstating the bridge to a safe condition.
The department will continue monitoring, assessing and reviewing the roads in the region while encouraging operators to drive through the region.
