The Toowoomba Bypass Forum, held 8 February, 2013 brought together government and industry leaders to elevate our need for this vital piece of infrastructure– for our economic future, for our communities, for all associated industries and for our environment.

The Toowoomba Bypass is not just a road....it is a pathway that delivers economic prosperity and a safer transport route for industry and our communities.

All levels of Government agree it needs to be built but every day we delay, it's costing us millions.

For more information about the current business case, which has been prepared by the State Government and sent to the Federal Government for consideration – go to this website. http://www.treasury.qld.gov.au/projects-queensland/projects/toowoomba-range-crossing/index.shtml

What is the Toowoomba Bypass?

The proposed Toowoomba Bypass is a vital road link that is integral to the region's future economic growth. The present situation with the Toowoomba Range crossing is extremely inadequate for the massive flow of freight experienced on a daily basis. It is a critical infrastructure project that needs to be funded from the Federal Government’s Building Australia Fund.

The proposed bypass will span 42 km from the Warrego Highway at Helidon Spa to the Gore Highway at Athol, as detailed in the map below.

Why do we need it?

The Toowoomba Bypass will:

• Improve safety for motorists and heavy vehicle drivers
• Provide an efficient route for the transportation of goods to Brisbane and overseas markets
• Provide a safer alternative to the steep gradient of the current range crossing for drivers of heavy vehicles and passenger vehicles
• Create a quicker route to Brisbane or to the west, for those not wanting to travel through Toowoomba
• Reduce traffic movements in the Toowoomba city.
