Logue River Sections Widening & Overlay GNH SLK 2249.7 - 2269.05 and Parking Bay at GNH SLK 2269.9
Phase:Clearing proposal closed for submission
Main Roads WA is planning to upgrade the section of Great Northern Highway (GNH) in the Willare section to align with current safety standards as this section of the National Highway is sub-standard and has a narrow-sealed shoulder.
The purpose of the project is to improve the road geometry of GNH between SLK 2249.7 - 2269.05 by overlaying and widening the existing surface to a lane 3.5 m wide with a 2 m sealed shoulder. The overall width of the sealed surface is expected to be approximately 11m. The project will also involve the installation of a parking bay at SLK 2269.90. Most of the works will occur within the road maintenance zone. However, clearing outside the maintenance zone is required for additional works that have been identified to support the upgrade works such as borrow pits and water points.
A total of 135 ha of native vegetation clearing in a 478 ha Project Development Envelope (PDE) is proposed for project activities.
