Watchdog Sounds Alarm Over Cunningham Highway 'Blunders'
Outspoken truckies’ advocate Wes Walker is appalled at what he discovered on a weekend drive along sections of Queensland’s Cunningham Highway undergoing repairs.
Walker visited the area after several safety concerns were raised by truckies over the recent closures of the Fisher Park truck stops on the east and west sides of the highway at Tregony and South Branch Road in Maryvale.
Those rest areas have been taken over by contractors for the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) as a base for “safety” upgrades.
- The nearest alternative rest areas for truckies are now the Aratula Roadside Rest Area, approximately 24 kilometres east of the closure.
- The Gladfield Rest Area, approximately 16 kilometres west of the closure, is also available.
