Road shoulders currently wash out each year presenting unsafe drop off on both sides of roads. Emergency services (for Royal Flying Doctor Service transfers etc) and other vehicles utilise this road frequently.Reconstruction and widening to existing seal, including kerbing works and rock armour along both shoulders
The final 500m of Sir Hudson Fysh Drive (commencing 3.614km from the intersection of Alice Street and Sir Hudson Fysh Drive and Alice Street)the section is bitumen sealed with a 10m width and provides motorists with the only access to the Cloncurry Airport.

Works will consist of an improved drainage system to suit this section of road (with additional culverts or replacement/upgrade to existing culverts if required)and associated infrastructure.Total cost of proposed project is $913,601
