Mackay Regional Council have upgraded the causeways and installed box culverts at two sites on Smith-Cross Road to provide better access to residents. 

The upgraded causeways, offer Q2 flood event immunity under the roadway and Q5 flood event immunity overtop the road (remaining trafficable to emergency vehicles only). This was achieved by raising the road level at each site by approximately one metre and installing three (3000mm x 1800mm) box culverts at Site 1 and three (3000mm x 1200mm) box culverts at Site 2.

The newly constructed causeways also feature sealed pavements on approaches, similar to the Camilleri’s Road causeway and adequate fish passages in accordance with the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries regulations.

This Works for Queensland project is delivering jobs for regional Queensland and funded by the Queensland Government.
