Logan Street in Eagleby has reopened following many months of stalled roadworks and the appointment of a new contractor.
The Logan Street works were part of a broader Eagleby drainage project, which was stuck in limbo for months because of the collapse of one of Queensland’s largest road construction companies, Allroads.
Local councillor Karen Murphy said online she was happy to announce the street’s opening “after much anticipation”.
“A big thank you to everyone for your patience and to the hardworking crews who made this possible,” Cr Murphy said.
“Let’s celebrate this milestone together… There may be some temporary closures for future works as the workers finalise the curb and channel across the intersection in coming weeks.”
Since the project’s new contractor, BMD, started work on site in May, two roads have re-opened – Roebuck Avenue and Endeavour Parade – and 109 stormwater gullies and pits have been installed.
Council said 25 streets have completed underground stormwater pipes and gullies, as well as new kerbs and channels.
This month, workers will be installing traffic calming on Cowper Avenue and continuing seal and asphalt works.
