Last updated November 2026.
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
Bridge deck construction pours
Throughout November up to six early morning concrete pours are scheduled on the western side of Youngs Crossing Road, between 5:00 am and 7:00 am.
To support these works, steel fixing, formwork and concrete finishing activities will also be undertaken on selected Saturdays throughout November between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm.
Underground services
Some night works will be required to remove and relocate underground services, with service pits located in the roadway near Dayboro Road and Youngs Crossing Road.
This work is essential and activities will include:
- saw cutting
- asphalt works
- vacuum truck operations
- new guardrail and barrier installation
- line marking
- traffic control setup
- adjustments.
Switch to traffic lanes
Night works will be required to safely transition traffic onto the western lanes of the new Youngs Crossing Road alignment.
To minimise disruption to nearby residents, noisier activities will be completed during the earlier part of the evening where possible, up until midnight. All works are subject to weather and construction conditions. Roads will remain open to traffic however lane closures will be in place during works.
All Saturday and night work are carefully considered to minimise impacts on the community and are undertaken where required for safety and to maintain traffic flow.
Nearby properties will be advised in advance of any out of hours works.
Other construction activities and night works during November will include:
- Ongoing formwork and reinforcement of retaining walls.
- Ongoing underground services (including drainage and electrical) and pit installation on Dayboro Road and Youngs Crossing Road.
- Relocation and removal of redundant services (west bound) at Dayboro Road.
- Intersection and traffic signals work on Youngs Crossing Road and Dayboro Road.
- Linke marking and the installation of barriers and new guardrails associated with temporary traffic lane changes.
- Asphalt pavement construction and sealing on Youngs Crossing Road.

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.
