Caloundra Congestion Busting Plan kicks off

• Construction is now underway on a key project under the Caloundra Congestion Busting Plan, delivering long-awaited traffic relief for Sunshine Coast motorists.
• The Caloundra Transport Corridor Upgrade will create a new alternative route into Caloundra CBD and reduce pressure on key congestion hotspots.
• The Queensland Government is building Queensland’s future and accelerating delivery to ease pressure on Caloundra roads to help get Queenslanders home sooner and safer.

Construction is now underway on the Caloundra Transport Corridor Upgrade – the first major project under the Queensland Government’s Caloundra Congestion Busting Plan – designed to ease congestion on Caloundra Road, getting you home sooner and safer.

The project will provide an alternative route into the CBD, easing pressure on Caloundra Road.

Works have started this week on both the Omrah Avenue to Arthur Street section and the Nicklin Way and Third Avenue extension.

The Queensland Government is also progressing design – and Federal environmental approvals – for a major upgrade of the Caloundra Road, Kawana Way Link Road and Bells Creek Arterial Road intersection.

The Caloundra Congestion Busting Plan is just one of the ways the Queensland Government is building Queensland’s future to help get Queenslanders home sooner and safer.

Jointly funded by the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Council, the project represents a major investment in Caloundra’s transport network and supports the region’s growing population and future transport needs.

SEE Group Chief Executive Officer Joel Barnes said that SEE Civil is proud to be delivering the Caloundra Transport Corridor Upgrade on behalf of the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Council.

“With more than 300 local employees and deep roots in the Sunshine Coast, SEE Civil is proud to be delivering this vital infrastructure project,” Mr Barnes said.

“The Caloundra Transport Corridor Upgrade is more than a road project; it’s an investment in connectivity, community and the long-term future of the region,” Mr Barnes said.

“Our people live and work here, and we’re committed to delivering infrastructure that supports growth, creates opportunities and leaves a positive legacy for future generations.”
