From 6pm on Friday 6 September 2024 until 5am on Tuesday 10 September 2024, all traffic will be under a single lane through Cunninghams Gap on the Cunningham Highway. 

A reduced speed limit of 40km/hr will be in place for the safety of road users and work crews continuing works to reduce the steep grade of the road. Road users are advised to expect delays and plan ahead with updates to the QLDTraffic website or app.

Oversize-vehicle access will be temporarily closed for construction to occur within the narrow road widths at this section of the Cunningham Highway. Oversize vehicles (wider than 2.55m and/or longer than 30.5m) must check the Conditions of Operation Database and seek an alternative route.

Weather or site conditions can impact works, delaying start and finish schedules.

The recovery works are jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA). Reconstruction works on the Cunningham Highway at Cunninghams Gap are part of the Natural Disaster Program for the South Coast Region.
