The design of the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing (TSRC) needed to demonstrate an innovative solution in effort to redirect heavy freight traffic out of the Toowoomba CBD.
Drawing from a strong team that demonstrates global capability and world class expertise, the TSRC project delivered a second range crossing located north of Toowoomba that will see freight moved more efficiently. It also significantly improved the safety of commuters by removing heavy freight vehicles from the Toowoomba Central Business District.
The scope of works for the Design Joint Venture included earthworks, structures (including an 800 m long viaduct), pavements, drainage and flooding hydrology, road design and environmental services.
