The Bunbury Outer Ring Road project is the biggest infrastructure project ever undertaken in the south-west and will provide new and improved access to Bunbury-Geographe and the wider south west region.
This project will see the construction of a 27 kilometre, four-lane road connecting Forrest Highway to Bussell Highway.
Completed in May 2013, the four-kilometre Central Section - Boyanup Picton Road to South Western Highway, included the extension of Port Access Road (Willinge Drive).
The Northern Section - Forrest Highway to Boyanup Picton Road, will provide better access for Bunbury CBD and Ferguson Valley, with preparation works now underway.
The Southern Section - South Western Highway to Bussell Highway, will include a ‘Y’ interchanges at Bussell Highway and Centenary Road, and a connection to Jules Road.
