Ipswich Motorway underpass, Gailes – lighting and electrical infrastructure inspections

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will be inspecting the underpass of Ipswich Motorway (westbound) near Logan Motorway in late-April 2025. These inspections are being undertaken to assess the existing lighting infrastructure and conditions to inform planning for future electrical upgrades.

Work activities

• Inspection of lighting infrastructure using a vacuum truck and scissor lift.

Timing

• Inspections will take place between 6.30pm Wednesday 30 April and 4.30am Thursday 1 May 2025, site and weather conditions permitting.
• Night works are required for road user safety, and to avoid what would otherwise be extensive traffic queuing and disruption to the road network.

Expected impacts

• Traffic changes will be in effect, including temporary lane closures, reduced speed limits and short-term traffic disruptions.
• Please allow extra time when planning your travel and follow the directions of roadside signage and traffic controllers.
• Nearby residents and businesses can expect to experience short term impacts including increased noise, dust, and odour during the works.
• Reversing beepers and flashing lights are a safety requirement and will be used at all times during working hours.

Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on the local community and surrounds.
