As construction of the Bellwood Deviation neared completion in 1980 the Department of Main Roads began construction of a north 4.3km deviation - the Deep Creek Deviation - which adjoins the Bellwood Deviation to the north. As well as shortening the length of the highway by a further 1.8km, the Deep Creek Deviation also eliminated several sharp curves, two timber bridges and a lengthy flood-prone section of road at Deep Creek. To achieve flood immunity, the highway was relocated onto higher ground and the new bridge over Deep Creek was constructed 2m above the highest recorded flood level. The deviation was completed in June 1983 at a cost of $3 million.
