Road users travelling along the D'Aguilar Highway between Woodford and Bracalba are set for a safer, smoother journey, with two major rehabilitation projects scheduled to begin in March 2025.

[QLD Double Demerit Points for Easter 2025Queensland won’t apply double demerits this Easter 2025, but repeat traffic offenders still face harsher penalties under the state’s year-round rules.![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-1520.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/QLD-Police-Double-Demerit-2.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/qld-double-demerit-points-for-easter-2025/)

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will undertake upgrades to approximately 2.3km of road through Woodford—known locally as Archer Street—between Peterson Road and Mary Street. A further 1.4km section near Bracalba Quarry will also be rehabilitated.

Fully funded by the [Queensland](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/queensland/) Government through a $20 million investment under the Pavement Rehabilitation program, the works aim to improve road surface quality, strengthen the underlying pavement, and reduce the need for ongoing maintenance.

### Project Timeline

- **Early works**: Begin late March 2025
- **Main construction**: Starts shortly after early works
- **Woodford section duration**: Approximately 4 months
- **Bracalba section duration**: Approximately 7 months

Both timeframes are weather and construction conditions permitting.

### What Drivers Can Expect

Once completed, the works will deliver smoother and safer driving conditions for the approximately 13,000 motorists who use these sections daily.

The Bracalba section adjoins a 2.8km upgrade completed in late 2024, forming part of TMR's broader approach to improving driving conditions between Caboolture and Kilcoy.

### Statement from TMR

Scott Whitaker, North Coast Regional Director for TMR, emphasised the strategic importance of the D'Aguilar Highway:

> "The D'Aguilar Highway is a strategic link in Queensland's state-controlled road network, connecting the Bruce Highway with communities like Caboolture, Wamuran, Woodford, and Kilcoy, and providing vital freight access to the Darling Downs."

> "These rehabilitation works extend the life of the highway and improve safety for all road users."

> "TMR thanks the community for their patience during construction."

### Stay Informed

These upgrades mark another significant step in the Queensland Government's ongoing investment in regional infrastructure and transport safety.
