Labor leader Bill Shorten has pledged federal funding to upgrade regional Queensland roads, widen the M1 and kick-start the Cross River Rail project, if he becomes Australia's 31st Prime Minister.........
...
.......“
What we're going to do is extend the Bruce Highway to Cairns Airport, deliver stage two of the Mackay Ring Road, invest in better water security for Townsville, build that flood levy for Rocky (and) put in Commonwealth dollars to build the Rookwood Weir.
"We're going to widen the Port of Townsville, build that port access road at Gladstone and relocate the Bruce Highway to the west of Rocky with a new ring road to take thousands of trucks off local streets and turn the regional airport into a freight hub."
Mr Shorten pledged $500 million to upgrade more than 3000 kilometres of the state's regional roads and up to 300 regional bridges.”....

‘A $9.5 million rail and road upgrade at Yamala backed by $4.4 million in Queensland government funding marks the first step towards the Central Queensland inland rail port, according to Minister for Infrastructure and Planning Cameron Dick.
