Crosby bridge charges adjourned

The crash in which a truck collided with the Mount Crosby Overpass on the Warrego Highway in May 2025 has had a sequel in the Ipswich Magistrates court.

A man faced Ipswich Magistrates Court on Friday 6 March and the case was adjourned until Thursday 7 May.

He appeared having been issued a notice to appear for contravening a condition of dimension exception and driving without due care and attention.

Meanwhile, the Department of Transport and Main Roads advises that work on the Mount Crosby overpass will continue until April.

“Locals travelling across the overpass at night will observe TMR crews reinstating the bridge surface, laying asphalt, constructing the footpath, and realigning the traffic lanes,” a TMR spokesperson said.

A 20km/h speed restriction will remain in place while works are completed. The Mount Crosby Road overpass will be reduced to a single lane with traffic control and alternating flow nightly between 8.00pm and 5.00am until April 2.
