EARLY works on the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade (B2N) began this week (Monday, August 4) between Beerburrum and Glass House Mountains.
The project, aimed at increasing capacity and reliability on the North Coast Line, will deliver improved passenger and freight connections across the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay.
Stage 1 is in the design phase, with enabling works to support future construction.
Works will include vegetation clearing and relocating essential services such as electricity, water and telecommunications.
Clearing will occur in stages between Beerburrum Road and Barrs Road.
Service relocations will begin by early August and continue into 2026.
Residents and businesses will be notified by relevant providers ahead of any service interruptions.
Work hours will be Monday to Saturday, 6am to 6pm, with some night works Sunday to Thursday, as required.
Increased noise, dust, vibration and traffic changes are expected along Steve Irwin Way and nearby roads.
Detours may be in place at times, to ensure the safety of motorists.
