The department is one of a handful of government agencies in Queensland with a permanent public museum. Situated in Toowoomba, the Main Roads Heritage Centre, showcases the story and culture of a department with a rich history; how hard work and a pioneering spirit have helped connect Queensland.

- upgrade of Bruce Highway
