Highway off-ramp to close tonight

Moreton Bay motorists are warned a key Bruce Highway off ramp is to temporarily close from tonight in the first of two successive weekend closures.

Dohles Rocks Rd exit ramp (Exit 130) will be shut on July 24 - 27 and July 31 - August 3.

In each case the closures will be from 10am on the Friday until 4am on the Monday, though it may reopen sooner if work is ahead of schedule.

An additional weekend closure may be required if the work is not completed or affected by adverse weather.

The closures are for drainage and pavement works for the new northbound entry ramp in the Bruce Highway upgrade, Dohles Rocks Rd to Anzac Ave (Stage 1).

Motorists who use the Dohles Rocks Rd northbound exit will need to use the Anzac Ave exit (Exit 133) during the closures and follow the signed detour route.

Motorists will still be able to travel east and west on Dohles Rock Rd and access the southbound Bruce Highway on ramp from Dohles Rocks Rd.

TMR says: “Local residents may experience temporary increases in traffic and construction noise while works are underway.

“Every effort will be made to minimise disruption to the community. Plan ahead, allow extra time, and take care on the road while these traffic changes in place.

“We appreciate your patience and understanding while we undertake these vital works.”
