The Coolgardie Esperance Highway at Emu Rocks forms part of the Perth to Adelaide route on the National Land Transport Network and is the only direct sealed link between Perth and the Eastern States.
It is the major freight route through the region, with around two million tonnes per annum carted on the route, with 34% of all traffic on this section being heavy vehicles and 11% caravans.
Works will include upgrading a 25 kilometre section of this important road, between the Goldfields Highway intersection and Widgiemooltha, offering a greater and safer separation between vehicles.
