What is The Reddicliffe Highway?
The proposed highway is a four-lane motorway beginning just past the Davies Creek Bridge, cutting east to Cairns and joining up with the Cairns Western Arterial Road.
The highway would be 18-23.5km, with travel time estimated to be 21 minutes for a car and 27 for a truck if starting from the Mareeba Heritage Centre.
The road would pass over the Redlynch Intake Road with options for an on and off ramp, before joining with the Cairns Western Arterial Road.
The highway would not require any tunnels and would run along the natural contours of the mountains, keeping the same elevation of the Kuranda Range, around 400m above sea level.
