Pavement Repair and Resurfacing Works – Ipswich Motorway, Gailes to Goodna

Pavement Repair and Resurfacing Works Ipswich Motorway, Gailes to Goodna

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) advises that pavement resurfacing works will be undertaken westbound on the Ipswich Motorway between the Logan Motorway exit ramp, Gailes and Goodna State School, Goodna.

Works are being undertaken as part of TMR’s maintenance program to improve the road surface for road users.

Work activities

• Removal and replacement of asphalt.
• Reinstatement of temporary line marking.
• Final line marking.

Timing

• Works will commence early April 2025 and are expected to be completed by mid- May 2025, weather and construction conditions permitting.
• Typical construction hours will be from 9pm to 5am, Sunday to Friday.
• Night works are required for road user safety, and to avoid what would otherwise be extensive traffic queuing and disruption to the road network.
• While most of the works will be undertaken at night, some Saturday or other out of hours works during the day may be required.
• Final line marking works to improve the reflectivity and longevity of the road line marking will be applied approximately six weeks after the completion of road resurfacing to allow for adequate curing.

Expected impacts

• Changed traffic conditions: Temporary traffic changes will be in effect including road shoulder closures, lane closures with traffic control, changes to traffic flow, speed reductions and short-term traffic disruptions. Please allow extra time when planning your travel and follow the directions of roadside signage and traffic controllers.
• Temporary construction noise: Heavy machinery will be in use and nearby residents and businesses can expect some increased noise, dust and odour. Reversing beepers and flashing lights will be used for safety.

On completion, TMR officers will continue to review the site for up to three months. During this time TMR will assess the work undertaken for longevity and quality. In some cases, TMR may need to do further work at the location to rectify any defects.

Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on the local community and surrounds.

TMR appreciates your patience and cooperation while these important works are carried out.
