Flood Design for the Bruce Highway Upgrade - Corduroy Creek to Tully High School
Tully, QLD

The combined Tully and Murray Rivers floodplain in north Queensland is located in one of the wettest regions in Australia with an annual average rainfall throughout the catchment in excess of 4 metres. Long stretches of the existing Bruce Highway were inundated and untrafficable yearly for many days. Detailed hydraulic investigations were carried out to achieve an overall design for the upgraded highway that vastly improves the current situation whilst minimising impacts on surrounding properties and taking account of the major flood flows that occur across the floodplain.
