Following the incident on Friday morning, where a truck carrying a wind turbine crashed into the Mount Crosby Road overpass above the Warrego Highway at Tivoli, the road has reopened to traffic this morning, with several restrictions impacting heavy vehicles.
A Transport and Main Roads spokesperson said this comes after a comprehensive structural review, with the northbound lane of the Mount Crosby Road overpass now open.
“There are strict safety conditions to the reopening, including a 30-tonne vehicle weight limit (with exemptions for fire trucks), a 20km/h speed restriction, and physical traffic control measures to manage a single-lane operation for travel in the northbound direction only. Those travelling southbound will continue to use the existing diversion,” the spokesperson said.
“Oversize and over mass (OSOM) vehicles will remain restricted.
“Daily inspection and structural monitoring will be undertaken to ensure continue safety and the arrangement will remain in place until overpass repairs are completed.”
