Blown up Qld bridge to be rebuilt

A Queensland bridge destroyed in what is believed to be Australia's biggest ever peacetime explosion will be rebuilt.

The Angellala Creek Bridge was wiped out last September when a truck carrying 50 tonnes of ammonium nitrate overturned.

The $10 million rebuild will reopen a crucial transport corridor onto the Mitchell Highway, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Wednesday.

"It's unbelievable to see first hand here the depth of the devastation," she said at the site.

Ms Palaszczuk said the project would also create more than 20 new jobs for the area.

The new bridge will be 9.2 metres wide and higher than its predecessor to allow for better flood protection.

It's hoped it will be ready by late November.

Eight people were injured in the crash and explosion, including the truck driver, who miraculously survived.
