A new 64-kilometre section of the Great Northern Highway will be constructed between Chittering Roadhouse and New Norcia, bypassing the town of Bindoon to improve travel times, road safety and freight efficiency.

The Bindoon Bypass coupled with the road upgrades between Muchea and Wubin will allow triple road train operations to travel south from the existing road train assembly area at Wubin to the new road train assembly area at Muchea, some 218 kilometres further south, avoiding the inefficient double handling currently required.

The first stage of the project was opened in April 2022, including 7km of new highway north of Calingiri Road.

The Northern Section of the Bindoon Bypass project from Calingiri Road to New Norcia is progressing, with an 11km section underway between Seven Mile Hill and New Norcia. Works will continue until mid-2025 with activities including road sealing, completion of fencing, accommodation works, on-line sections and a connection to Great Northern Highway.
