Eyre Highway Upgrades

We are undertaking improvements to the Eyre Highway between Port Augusta and the Western Australian border. These works are funded by the Australian and South Australian governments. This project will provide investment in regional road projects and infrastructure upgrades to improve road safety, as well as help build regional communities and create jobs.

Upgrade activities will include construction of new overtaking lanes, new and upgraded heavy vehicle rest areas, junction upgrades and safety measures such as audio tactile line marking.

The project also includes works adjacent the Kimba township. Visit the Eyre Highway - Kimba project page for more information.
