Bit of a news flash about John Muntz Bridge. I was at a media interview with Minister for Main Roads at the John Muntz Bridge. Now the Minister claims the bridge will not be fully open until August. This isn't acceptable when the department keeps informing residents it will be mid year. Mid year is end of June!

The first photo of the John Muntz Bridge was taken on Saturday the 3rd June, the second photo was taken today, 7th of June. Contractors have moved a large amount of material into place with more works continuing.

Dear residents, Construction contractor Golding is continuing the reconstruction effort on Tamborine-Oxenford Road. Temporary rock platforms have been constructed on both sides of the causeway to allow an excavator to reach under the bridge to commence the reconstruction of the damaged sections of Tamborine-Oxenford Road. Reconstruction works are expected to be completed by mid-2017.

This week's question on notice about the capacity of the M1 Motorway has had an impact in the media. Every time there is an accident on the M1, the road network goes into meltdown.
