Great Northern Highway carries a variety of traffic travelling at various speeds including light vehicles, towing vehicles, road trains and oversize over mass vehicles.
Eleven overtaking lanes will be constructed, providing safer overtaking opportunities and helping to reduce conflict between heavy and light vehicles.
Construction of the lanes will be undertaken in two stages to minimise inconvenience to road users. Construction works are expected to commence in late-2024.
Pre-construction works associated with the project are complete, as well as the realignment and reconstruction of Arum Lily Place, and the upgrade of Adelaide Street.
