Forgan Bridge Replacement & Duplication Project – Mackay CBD Traffic Changes
Posted in News By: Admin
The $128m Forgan Bridge Project is the most significant project for the Mackay region since the duplication of Ron Camm Bridge and includes the replacement of the existing bridge with a new four lane structure, replacement of Barnes Creek Bridge and upgrading of the Kooyong Intersection.
Proposed Traffic Changes
The following changes will be made for the Mackay CBD Area:
Removal of traffic signals from the River Street/Sydney Street intersection
No access onto Forgan Bridge from Sydney Street (u-turn facility provided for local traffic)
Modification of various River Street intersections for safety and efficiency purposes including:
- Roundabout at Macalister Street intersection
- Protected right turn from Gregory Street
- Restricted left-in/left-out at Wood Street.
Closure of west bound lane on Victoria Street at Macalister Street intersection (u-turn facility
provided for local traffic)
Single lane exit from Forgan Bridge into Sydney Street and River Street Benefits
Continuous traffic flow on and off Forgan Bridge
Avoids the need for frequent traffic changes
Improves safety and efficiency for the travelling public and project construction
