History
As of 13 December 2007, the D'Aguliar Highway bypasses Caboolture to the north.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In January 2009, the Department of Transport and Main Roads published details of the preferred design for a bypass of the Kilcoy township.[5] The proposed route follows an abandoned rail corridor, and would have minimal impact on existing infrastructure.[6] In 2021, significant changes were made to the two main intersections in Kilcoy to improve traffic flow.[7] This seems to have been done as an alternative to the proposed bypass.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
A project to provide wide centre lines near Wamuran, at a cost of $12 million, was completed in September 2022.[8]
A project to provide safety improvements between Sandy Creek and Kilcoy, at a cost of $19 million, was completed in mid 2023.[9]
