Project description

The current road is unsealed and dust and loose material are problematic making the road unsafe. There is a history of accidents on the road and upgrading the strength and durability of the pavement surface, improving the geometry and dimensions of the road will ultimately help to minimise the risk of further accidents occurring. The road is a social, tourist and freight route for the region. Previously, Stage 1 and 2 of this project was RTR funded as part of Special Local Roads Projects.

Sealing of 16.5 kilometres of Mount Wedge Road road will add to the total project’s sealing of the route between the townships of Elliston and Kyancutta, linking the Birdseye Highway at Mount Wedge with the Eyre Highway at Kyancutta.

Total cost of proposed project is $1,985,000
