Freight Highway Upgrade Program
The Australian and South Australian governments have committed $500 million (80:20) over 10 years to improve the safety and reliability of national freight routes. This includes upgrades to three major highways in South Australia.
More than 3,200 heavy vehicles a day use the Stuart, Augusta and Dukes highways. They are vital transport corridors for freight crossing the nation. About half of those vehicles are B-doubles and road trains.
The upgrades will improve freight productivity by reducing travel times for the delivery of goods to businesses and the community, as well as reducing operating costs for commercial vehicles.
