Another case of melting bitumen, this time on the Bruce Highway, has destroyed the tyres of at least one heavy vehicle in central Queensland overnight.
It comes after a similar incident affected a road in the state's far north early last month. The road surface started lifting overnight.
Today, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) confirmed resealing work had failed on a 2.4-kilometre stretch of the Bruce Highway between Rockhampton and Mackay.
TMR blamed that incident on a newly resurfaced road being affected by wet weather and then hot temperatures.
