Overtaking lane works to start
CONSTRUCTION of an overtaking lane for northbound traffic south of Vicary Road was expected to begin on Monday.
The new overtaking lane is one of three to be established between Mareeba and Ravenshoe.
Commuters have been demanding more overtaking lanes for many years and were damning of the upgrade to the Kennedy Highway between Atherton and Mareeba for the lack of passing opportunities.
Construction works were to start Monday and are expected to be completed in early 2025 (weather and construction conditions permitting).
The new overtaking lane seeks to reduce travel time and improve traffic flow.
