Similar works are planned for the near future for Horseshoe Creek, Williams, Jasper Iverson, Gradys Creek, Lynches Creek, Ghinni Ghi, Nolans, and Whites roads.

Piling continues on the bridge site on Capeen Creek Road, with the centre pier currently being formed up. Piling on the new bridge on Duck Creek Road should be completed today, when work on the abutments will start.

Work to build a side track around the new bridge site on Pines Road is expected to be completed today. The crew will then move to Iron Pot Creek where they start work on another bridge side track.

Piling has been completed on the new Trynneys Bridge, and has started on Secombes Bridge, both of which are on Tunglebung Creek Road. Construction of the new bridge on Green Pigeon Road has been delayed slightly until the piling rig is able to get there.
