There is a B-Double accident at the Maryborough bypass - you may have to go through town.

Strewth!  I hope the TMR fix that soon!  I'm hoping to use that stretch of road on Friday.   :eek
It's a big diversion to go out through Dingo.
It would appear they've got a bad batch of bitumen.  That shouldn't be happening in late Winter.

Just checked the RACQ.  This is their report:
Location
Saint Lawrence, 4707
Road name
Bruce highway
What to expect
All lanes affected
All directions
No delays expected
Proceed with caution
Duration
Start: Wed., 08 Aug. 2018, 6:29 am
Last updated
Wed., 08 Aug. 2018, 6:35 am

No mention of the actual fault, unlike the photos on ABC.  Although I wonder if they're just recycling the photos from the Atherton Tablelands incident.

I don't have spot configured on the current device.
Depending on time constraints and how Tipsy is feeling i may get it set up then take the long way home instead of the slab.
