The Australian and Queensland governments have jointly committed $9 billion - an 80:20 funding arrangement - for the Bruce Highway Targeted Safety Program (BHTSP), marking the largest single investment in the highway to date.

It builds on over $6 billion in planned investment under the Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program (QTRIP) 2024-25 to 2027-28. Project prioritisation will be guided by the Bruce Highway Advisory Council and both levels of government, with a corridor-wide fatigue management strategy informing rest area and stopping place upgrades.
