Stage 1 – Widening (Jurien to Greenhead)
A contract for Stage 1 has been awarded to Fulton Hogan. Construction commenced in February 2023 and includes widening of the existing road between Jurien Bay and Greenhead.
Stage 2 Widening and Passing Lanes (Leeman to Brand Highway)
Design and development work for Stage 2 is progressing. Construction is expected to commence in September 2023.
Stage 2 Detour
The section of Indian Ocean Drive between Eneabba-Coolimba Road and Brand Highway will be temporarily closed to through traffic for approximately five months from November 2023. Access will be retained for local businesses and emergency services.
