Major Rail Disruptions: Sunshine Coast Line Suspension

Public transport users are reminded of significant network upgrades currently affecting the Sunshine Coast rail line. As part of the Beerburrum to Nambour Stage 1 upgrade and the installation of a new digital signaling system, all train services on the Sunshine Coast line remain suspended today. This closure is scheduled to continue until Sunday, 26 April 2026. Replacement bus services are in operation, but commuters should plan ahead and expect travel times to be significantly longer than usual.

Regional Roadwork and Maintenance Updates

Several council-led and state-managed road projects are active across the region this Friday. Motorists are advised to observe all traffic control measures and allow extra travel time in the following areas:

• Bli Bli: Night resurfacing continues on David Low Way near the Bli Bli Bridge. While work primarily occurs between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM, temporary lane closures and speed restrictions may still impact daytime traffic.
• Woombye: Structural maintenance is ongoing at the Blackall Range Road Bridge. Work is expected to continue through mid-April, with minor delays anticipated.
• Nambour: Ancillary road works on Currie Street are in progress. Traffic controllers are on-site to assist with vehicle and pedestrian movement through the business district.
