The Bruce Highway is finally getting a much overdue upgrade with the Prime Minister pledging $7.2 billion towards fixing what David Crisafulli, and many Queenslanders, call a 'goat track'.

RACQ’s Head of Public Policy Dr Michael Kane told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "it is going to be expensive and it's going to be hard work."

"We really think the Bruce will never really be fixed because we're going to keep getting population growth and economic growth."

"When they get this work done, there'll be more work needed because we'll have more people, more trucks, more caravans, but it's a good start in getting rid of these two star sections, which are really unsafe and do cause high levels of fatalities," Dr Kane said.
