Bruce Highway off-ramp to close

Moreton Bay motorists have been warned a major Bruce Highway off ramp is to close for three successive weekends this month.

The north-bound Dohles Rocks Rd exit ramp (Exit 130) is scheduled to temporarily shut on July 17-20, 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.

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).

Transport and Main Roads (TMR) says: “Unfortunately, there is not enough space to complete the works while keeping the ramp open to traffic.”

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.

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,” TMR said, “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.”
