Council is upgrading Youngs Crossing Road in Joyner. This work focuses on the section where the road crosses the North Pine River. It is one of the City’s largest road projects and an important part of the South East Queensland road network. The project spans more than one kilometre, from Protheroe Road to Dayboro Road.
What’s happening now
Construction activities will continue until Friday 19 December and include:
Residents and the community may notice an increase in construction machinery, including piling and crane activities, ongoing light vehicle movements and some haulage.
Construction will stop across the holiday period and recommence on Monday 5 January 2026.
The project team has appreciated your understanding and cooperation throughout 2025 as we have worked towards delivering this much-needed, flood-resilient bridge and road connection.

What to expect during construction
Throughout the project, there will be machinery, vehicles and active work on site.
Some work will need to occur at night for safety and to reduce traffic impacts on road users. We will inform residents if night work will affect them. Public access to Youngs Crossing Park and the waterhole will not be possible for safety reasons during the construction of the new bridge and road.
We will work to minimise traffic disruptions and inconvenience to nearby properties. All construction activities are subject to weather and construction conditions.
Traffic and road safety
To keep road users, pedestrians and workers safe, reduced speed zones will be in place. This includes a temporary 40 kilometre per hour limit along Youngs Crossing Road. Electronic message signs are positioned at various locations along the project corridor. They will be updated as work progresses.
Motorists and road users should follow signage and instructions. Delays may occur. Council appreciates your patience as we deliver this essential project.
Project delivery and funding
Seymour Whyte is the project’s principal contractor. City of Moreton Bay is working in partnership with them to deliver this vital upgrade. The Australian Government has committed $51.6 million in funding. The Queensland Government will also provide $15 million.
