Nambour and Glass House Mountains Roadworks to Impact Tuesday Commute

Morning Traffic Outlook for Tuesday, March 31, 2026

Sunshine Coast commuters should prepare for a busy Tuesday morning as several significant road maintenance projects enter their second day of operations. While major arteries like the Bruce Highway are currently flowing at capacity, localized delays are expected in Nambour, Alexandra Headland, and the Glass House Mountains due to essential infrastructure upgrades and rehabilitation works.

Major Local Roadwork Alerts

Several council-led projects are active today, which may cause minor to moderate delays during peak hour:

• Nambour: Ancillary works on Currie Street are in full swing today. This three-week project began yesterday and is expected to result in lane closures and localized congestion through the town center. Motorists are advised to allow for extra travel time.
• Glass House Mountains: Road resealing continues on Sahara Road. This project also commenced on Monday and will involve heavy machinery and temporary traffic control measures over the next fortnight.
• Alexandra Headland: The road rehabilitation project on Janet Street is now entering its final week. While work is progressing well, residents and visitors should remain alert for changed traffic conditions and site vehicles.

Strategic Project Updates

On the broader regional scale, construction activity remains high across several signature projects designed to ease long-term congestion:

• Mooloolah River Interchange (MRIU): Early works for Stage 1 are well underway. Major earthworks and civil construction near the Sunshine Motorway and Nicklin Way interchange are active, so please follow all posted speed limits for the safety of work crews.
• The Wave (Stage 2): Geotechnical investigations and site surveys are continuing today at the future site of the Aroona Station. While these works are mostly off-road, commuters may notice increased activity near the rail corridor.
• Beerburrum to Nambour (B2N) Rail Upgrade: Construction on the Stage 1 duplication between Beerburrum and Beerwah continues. Commuters using Steve Irwin Way should keep an eye out for construction traffic entering and exiting the site near the newly realigned section between Nursery Road and Moffatt Road.

Commuter Advice

Public transport users on the North Coast Line are reminded that while trains are running to schedule, the ongoing B2N Stage 1 works may occasionally require platform changes at Landsborough and Nambour stations. At Sunshine Coast Airport, the terminal redevelopment continues, though the recent completion of the outbound baggage facility has improved operational efficiency. Travelers are still encouraged to arrive early due to the ongoing check-in hall expansions. Stay safe and plan for an additional 10 to 15 minutes of travel time if your route passes through the Nambour or Glass House Mountains work zones.
