Woombye Road rail bridge renewal works to cause detours

Queensland Rail will carry out renewal works at the Blackall Street/Back Woombye Road rail bridge, Woombye from 20 to 22 June during a planned track closure.

 The works include replacing approximately 300 existing transoms (bridge sleepers), with durable composite type transoms.

 The composite type transoms are designed as an alternative to traditional hardwood timber for bridge transoms, offering a more durable, sustainable and long-lasting option.

 "This is part of a broader program of works to invest in sustainable options to maintain our rail infrastructure and corridor, to ensure we keep passengers, freight and the economy moving,” said Queensland Rail Head of South East Queensland Neil Backer.

 The road will be closed to all traffic between 7pm Friday 20 and 9pm Sunday 22 June, with a traffic diversion via Nambour Connection Road, Foley Road, McKenzie Road, Blackall Range Road, Parsons Knob Road, Reids Road and Old Palmwoods Road.
