Two motorway bridges are set to be improved during the next few months, when commuters will face some delays and detours.

Works will take place on the southbound Sunshine Motorway bridges located above the David Low Way interchange at Pacific Paradise.

Asphalt and damaged concrete barriers will be removed and replaced.

The works are scheduled to start this month and are expected to be completed by late April, weather and construction conditions permitting.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads stated that most of the works will be undertaken during the daytime and both southbound lanes will be open to traffic but a reduced speed limit of 40kmh will be in place through the work zone on the Sunshine Motorway.

Motorists can expect delays while the works are underway and are advised to allow additional travel time.

Some intermittent night works will also require the temporary closure of the bridges. A temporary diversion utilising the Sunshine Motorway/David Low Way interchange slip lanes will be in place for motorists travelling southbound.

Any changed traffic conditions will be communicated to motorists via variable messaging signs.

TMR thanked community members for their patience while the works get underway.
