= Gympie Bypass
=The Gympie Bypass, under construction in 2023, will become the Bruce Highway (M1) when completed. It will cross over Tin Can Bay Road in Victory Heights with no interchange. An interchange with Gympie Connection Road to the north will become the most direct route from the Bruce Highway to Tin Can Bay Road outbound.
History
European settlement began at Tin Can Bay in the 1870s as the point where logs would be floated to the timber mills at Maryborough. Tin Can Bay later became, and still remains, an important fishing port, with a focus on prawns as well as recreational fishing.
Wolvi, just to the southeast of Tin Can Bay Road, was the site of the Tagigan pastoral run. In 1877, 8,360 acres (3,380 ha) of land were resumed from Tagigan. The land was offered for selection for the establishment of small farms on 17 April 1877.
