Public Notice: Mid-Week Roadworks and Regional Health Alerts

Official Notices Roundup: Wednesday, 25 March 2026

As the lead editor for Toowoomba.news, I am providing a summary of the essential official notices, health advisories, and public service announcements active for Wednesday, 25 March 2026. Today is a significant date for regional infrastructure, marking the scheduled completion of several maintenance projects and key administrative deadlines. Residents and commuters are advised to review the following updates to prepare for the day ahead.

Regional Roadwork and Traffic Disruptions

Toowoomba Regional Council has confirmed that today, Wednesday, 25 March, is the final day for a major block of bitumen resealing works across the central districts. Local motorists should anticipate short-term road closures and established detours between 6:00 am and 4:00 pm. The following streets are affected:

• East Toowoomba: Boyden Street (between Curzon and Wirra Wirra Streets) and Cavell Street (between Mary and Mackenzie Streets).
• Harristown: Camden Street (between Devine and Stephen Streets), Christopher Street, Devine Street, and McLeish Street.
• South Toowoomba: Denis Street, Grey Street, Loudon Street, and Morton Street.

In addition to these resealing works, long-term closures remain in effect at Smiths Road in Glencoe for Blackspot Program upgrades and Reichle Road in Yandilla for flood recovery culvert replacement. On the Toowoomba Bypass, fixed lane closures continue between the Warrego Highway West and Gore Highway interchanges. Commuters are urged to allow for extra travel time and to observe all site speed limits.

Public Health Advisory: Measles Vigilance

Darling Downs Health continues to maintain a region-wide measles alert following a confirmed case detected earlier this month. Health authorities are urging all residents to remain vigilant for symptoms, which typically include high fever, a persistent cough, runny nose, and a distinctive red blotchy rash. If symptoms develop, it is critical to contact a GP or call 13HEALTH immediately. It is vital to call ahead before visiting any medical facility to ensure staff can take precautions to prevent the virus from spreading in public waiting areas.

Infrastructure and Community Services

Council remains focused on long-term water security and urban resilience. Today at 2:00 pm AEST, the tender period officially closes for the Searle Street Stormwater Project (TRC000534), specifically for the supply of precast steel-reinforced pipes. Residents near the project site may notice preliminary survey activity. Furthermore, construction continues on the Cressbrook Dam Safety Improvement Project. While no water supply interruptions are scheduled for today, the spillway widening remains an active worksite. Residents are also reminded that while the watch for Ex-Tropical Cyclone Narelle has been cancelled, they should continue to monitor the Disaster Dashboard for any localized flood warnings in rural catchments.
