What’s happening?
Safety upgrades on the Cunningham Highway between Warwick and Inglewood are now complete. The Queensland Government’s Department of Transport and Main Roads carried out the project along a 100-kilometre section from Lyndhurst Lane at Warwick to the Millmerran–Inglewood Road intersection at Inglewood. Works began in May 2025 and finished in November 2025.
The upgrade package included road widening, removal of roadside hazards, intersection upgrades and installation of double barrier line marking. The project was delivered under the Queensland Government’s Targeted Road Safety Program.
