Following a significant crash and subsequent explosion on the Bruce Highway north of Bororen on Friday, the highway remains closed.

Road closures are still in place at Wadeleigh Street in Bororen township (northbound) and just south of the Turkey Beach Road intersection (southbound).

Work commenced on site immediately after TMR was handed possession of the crash site at 9am Sunday 1 September, with clean-up activities and various inspections (pavement, geotechnical, environment, cultural heritage) being undertaken in parallel.

Significant progress is being made on site with the highway expected to open to single lane traffic by 11:55pm Tuesday 3 September 2024.

Information on the latest traffic conditions is available by phoning 13 19 40 or by visiting www.qldtraffic.qld.gov.au.
