Repairs to the Linkfield Road Overpass will be done at night and need a total bridge closure this weekend, says the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR).
Work will be done from Sunday to Friday, 7pm-5am, with single-lane closures on the overpass and lane closures on Gympie Arterial Rd, including the southbound off-ramp to Linkfield Rd.
To enable concrete placement, a full closure of the overpass - damaged by a high-load strike for the second time in a matter of months - is needed this weekend.
TMR says this will be from 6pm Saturday September 17 to 8am Sunday September 18 - as well as 5pm Sunday September 18 to 5am Monday September 19.
A temporary speed reduction is in place on the overpass with police in attendance.
There's currently no southbound ramp access to Gympie Arterial Rd for traffic travelling eastbound on Linkfield Rd.
Pedestrian and bike rider access will be maintained at all times during the repair work.
