Young Crossing Road upgrades set for start
CONSTRUCTION on the long-awaited Youngs Crossing Road and bridge upgrade is set to begin in June 2025, with Queensland-based Seymour Whyte Constructions named as the project’s Principal Contractor.
The $86 million contract was announced by Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery, marking a major milestone for the city.
“This means a reliable solution to the flooding problems that plague the existing crossing will soon become a reality for locals,” Mayor Flannery said.
“Over the past two months, we again saw this busy section of our City thrown into chaos and confusion due to flooding caused by heavy rainfall. With today’s announcement, we now start the countdown to 2027 when these occurrences will be a thing of the past.”
The project spans more than one kilometre from Protheroe Road to Dayboro Road and includes a 200-metre bridge. It is supported by $51.6 million in federal funding and $15 million from the Queensland Government.
Seymour Whyte will take possession of the site next month. Early works, such as relocating sewer and electrical services, are already underway.
“If you’ve travelled along this critical transport corridor recently, you would have noticed early preparations are well under way,” Mayor Flannery said.
“With our project contractor now officially onboard, activities onsite will soon shift to the next phase.”
