The Toowoomba Bypass will also be closed on eastbound and westbound lanes between the Mort Street Interchange and Warrego East Interchange at Helidon Spa on March 21 and 22, with specific heavy vehicle restrictions established.

The lane closures and impacted traffic will occur due to necessary asphalt and retexturing works, as well as other essential maintenance work.

“We are continuously monitoring, assessing and reviewing our roads, bridges and culverts across Queensland,” TMR says.
