Foamed bitumen pavements thwart TC Debbie
Transport and Main Roads’ investment in research and innovation is paying big dividends in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Debbie, with millions of dollars saved through more resilient pavements.
The department’s foamed bitumen pavements have survived unscathed in some of the worst-hit parts of the state, including Camp Cable Road on the Mt Lindsay Highway, the Bruce Highway in Cairns, Sandy Gully in Mackay and the Yeppen floodway in Rockhampton. These are just the latest examples of how foamed bitumen is contributing to a more resilient state road network for Queensland.

7 年Good to observe, We had good outcomes at Logan City roads as well. Are there any lessons learned (where foamed bitumen or other treated flood causeways did not survive?)
