Fix the Bruce
We stood with Queenslanders to demand fair funding to Fix the Bruce and save lives.
The Bruce Highway is the backbone of Queensland, but it’s broken.
You are 3 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a crash on the Bruce Highway than on the Pacific Highway, and 5 times more likely than on the Hume Highway.
The Federal Government funded at least 80% of upgrades to duplicate the Pacific and Hume Highway.
After relentless evidence-based campaigning from RACQ and supporting organisations, the Federal Government has committed to fund 80% of upgrades required to ensure all sections of the Bruce Highway are rated a minimum of 3 out of 5-stars for safety.
It’s Queensland’s turn for fair funding to Fix the Bruce and save lives.
Unsafe and unfit for purpose...
More than HALF of all fatal crashes on the Bruce Highway are HEAD ON collisions.
On average, 35 people are killed in crashes on the Bruce Highway each year and more than 400 suffer serious injuries.
Almost half of the Bruce (45.2%) is rated just 2 out of 5 stars for road infrastructure safety according to 2019 AusRAP data.
In January 2025, the Federal Government committed to funding 80% of a $9 billion package to upgrade the Bruce Highway to a minimum of 3-stars for infrastructure safety, with the State Government funding 20%.
Queensland secured fair funding to save lives.
