Gympie Bypass Map

This four-lane bypass of Gympie is the final link in the 62km long upgrade to the Bruce Highway between Cooroy and Curra. It connects the existing Bruce Highway at Curra north of Gympie to the northern end of Section C at Woondum. The project is expected to begin construction mid 2020 and be completed in mid 2025, weather permitting.

The Gympie Bypass was delivered in 2 major construction contracts Contract 1 Woondum interchange to Sandy Creek Road Bielby Holdings and BMD Group Joint Venture Contract 2 Sandy Creek Road to Curra CPB Contractors There are 42 bridges at 23 locations along the Gympie Bypass.

It is predicted that this will reduce by around 80 when the bypass is open. Back to top. Interchange design and locations Why does the bypass have only half-diamond interchanges? Due to insufficient traffic volumes and the overall length of the bypass, only 2 options for the connections to Tiaro were considered. These options included

The 1.162 billion Gympie Bypass is a 26-kilometre, four-lane divided highway that bypasses Gympie and reduces heavy vehicle traffic through the town. The project is the final stage of the 62-kilometre Bruce Highway upgrade between Cooroy and Curra, which started in 2009 and cost over 2.5 billion.

Feedback from initial consultation in early 2019 showed there was greater support for a bypass than an upgrade of the existing highway. This feedback also suggested there is concern about potential economic impacts of a bypass. This was a key consideration for the department in planning the next steps for the project.

Due to the scale of the upgrade and understanding that it would eventually bypass the city of Gympie, a strategic planning phase occurred between 2004 to 2008 where community engagement played a vital part in the development of the corridor for the Cooroy to Curra program.
