safety
upgrade
on
Bruce
Highway
February 2, 2026
SMEC is proud to have been appointed to deliver planning and detailed design services for a safety upgrade on the Bruce Highway between Maryborough and Gin Gin, part of the Bruce Highway Targeted Safety Program (BHTSP), jointly funded by the Australian Government and the Queensland Government.

SMEC’s scope includes strategic planning, detailed design, and digital engineering services to support wide centre line treatments, intersection upgrades, pavement strengthening, heavy vehicle rest areas, and enhanced safety measures. 

 

This win builds on SMEC’s strong track record in Queensland, where we’ve made key contributions to Bruce Highway projects including designing Cooroy to Curra (Section C), Tiaro Bypass, Gairloch Floodway, North Ingham Safety Package, Rockhampton Ring Road, and Caboolture to Steve Irwin Way. Across these projects, our teams have applied advanced digital tools and collaborative design approaches.
