What's happening
We’ve completed upgrades to Gordon Downs Road and the section of Duncan Road south of the hills to the entrance of Yaruman (Ringer Soak) community.
In 2023, the project was temporarily suspended as resources were allocated to the flood recovery work at Fitzroy Crossing and Willare.
Drainage and floodway upgrades in the northern part of the Hills section are expected to commence in August, followed by road improvements at Rosie’s Corner and sealing of a jump-up east of Fox River (to be delivered by the Shire of Halls Creek).
Further upgrades to the concrete floodways at Old Town and Black Elvire will commence in September..
Main Roads will continue to engage with the Shire of Halls Creek to determine future works.
