Work is progressing on the Bruce Highway Upgrade - Cooroy to Curra, Section D (Gympie bypass), with the final concrete pile recently poured for the project's 42 bridge structures.
The last of the 575 piles have now been installed, marking another key milestone for this critical infrastructure project.
A bridge pile forms the foundation for columns that hold up a bridge.
With the piles now in place, works on all bridges on the Gympie bypass are underway or complete.
The Keefton Road underpass, Bolcaro Road overpass, Noosa Road overpass and the recently opened Flood Road interchange bridge are now all open.
The $1 billion project is due for completion late 2024, weather permitting.
The Gympie Bypass is jointly funded on an 80:20 basis, with the Australian Government contributing $800 million and the Queensland Government $200 million.
