The Challenge

Spicer's Gap Road in the Main Range National Park suffered flood and rain damage during recent rainfall events.

The road was originally constructed in 1847 with major work undertaken in the 1960s and was the major transport route from the Southern Downs to Ipswich.

A lack of maintenance combined with heavy rainfall events have caused large potholes in the road and for water to pond on the surface.

The Solution

Proterra Group provided recommendations to DES for immediate restoration works outlining drainage improvements and road surface improvements, as well as requirements for future maintenance.
