The Broome Cape Leveque Road is the main transport link through the Dampier Peninsula and is susceptible to flooding, forcing it to be closed during wet season and isolating communities. Once improvements are completed, road users will have all weather access and benefit from the safety improvements.
The project reached a milestone early November 2020, with the entire 90 kilometre section sealed in time for the wet season.
Upgrades to 13.6 kilometres of Broome Cape Leveque Road from Broome Road are also nearing completion.
Funding has also been allocated to sealing the Kooljaman Resort Access Road at Cape Leveque and Trochus Hatchery Access Road at Ardyaloon.
Construction of a roundabout at Broome Road and Cape Leveque Road intersection is also underway and will improve road safety at this location.
