What's happening
A $23 million contract was awarded to Central Earthmoving to construct the first five overtaking lanes (Package One).
Work is continuing on package one, with culvert end treatment work well underway on all five overtaking lanes, and due for completion in early 2025.
Basecourse work on lanes one and six will continue from late November, with the sealing of these two lanes to be undertaken in December.
Work on the remaining lanes will continue through to early 2025. Staged construction of the overtaking lanes is expected to minimise inconvenience to road users. Traffic management with speed reduction, shuttle flow, portable traffic control devices and temporary line marking will remain in place for the duration of the works.
Road users are advised to plan their journey as delays may be experienced.
