The project is expected to be completed in 2029.
While we build the upgrade, the safety measures the Department of Transport and Planning implemented after several devastating crashes on this section of highway will remain in place.
These include:
- a speed reduction from 100km/h to 80km/h on a 1.2km stretch of road at the Langhi Ghiran rail overpass
- ‘High Risk Area’ warning signs
- additional curve alignment markers (signs) which guide drivers around bends, indicating the direction and severity of a curve
- additional ‘two-way road’ signs and painted arrows
- extending the solid line barrier linemarking to prevent overtaking.
