Strzelecki Track Upgrade and Sealing Project

The Australian and South Australian governments have jointly funded (80:20) the $215 Million upgrade and sealing of the Strzelecki Track. The project will include pavement rehabilitation and sealing of the existing road alignment to stop the granular roads pavement deteriorating from traffic loading, natural erosion and minimising damage during inclement weather events.

The Strzelecki Track is a 472 kilometre unsealed rural road that links the towns of Lyndhurst to Innamincka in the north east of South Australia. It is a vital supply link for the nationally significant oil and gas extraction facilities located near Moomba, in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins, and is an essential transport corridor for outback communities, tourism and pastoralists.

The nature of the unsealed road makes it inaccessible during wet weather and flood events, negatively impacting on the efficient and safe operations of road users.
