Goldfields Highway (H049) Wiluna to Meekatharra Package 2 - West Creek Realignment
Phase:Clearing proposal closed for submission
Main Roads is proposing a realignment of approximately 10 km Goldfields Highway (H049) through West Creek and an upgrade to a sealed road standard, in the Shire of Wiluna. Poor quality of the current alignment through West Creek has led to increased susceptibility to road closures due to flooding, poor driving conditions, high operating costs and poor reliability. The new alignment will be located south of the current Goldfields Highway and will result in a reduction in road length and improved overall safety for road users. The proposed realignment will require the removal of up to 34.354 ha of native vegetation.
