About the project
The Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP) supports the productivity of freight vehicles by improving the roads they travel on day to day. Repairing and strengthening these sections of road will:
- improve freight productivity
- improve efficiency and network reliability
- improve road safety for all road users
- reduce maintenance costs.
See the bridges that will be strengthened and repaired as part of FCUP.
