The Bunbury Outer Ring Road’s (BORR’s) Three Step Guide to the Perfect Holiday Road-trip
Big changes are underway for the South West region’s road network with the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken in the area – the Bunbury Outer Ring Road - over 60% completed.
Published: 05 December 2023, Updated: 05 December 2023
While these works are underway, if you’re travelling through the South West region, please be aware that traffic management, lane closures and speed reductions are in place on sections of Forrest Highway, Bussell Highway and South Western Highway.
Here are three tips to help you navigate through the BORR works.
Step 1 – Plan ahead and understand the traffic changes
Your bags are packed, the car is loaded, and the holiday season is upon us… but before you ‘start the car!’, make sure you’ve taken the time to plan your road trip carefully and try to avoid travelling during peak hours or peak days if possible.
The better prepared you are, the more relaxed you’ll be when you arrive at your destination.

Step 2 – Choose your route and enjoy the journey
Your holiday isn’t just about the destination, it’s also about the journey!
Consider which stops will best suit you and your family and what you want to see on your way. Mapping out your intended route will make for a more relaxed and enjoyable drive. Use a mapping tool prior to leaving to see the travel times and possible alternative routes.
Step 3 – Expect delays and please be patient
Our traffic management team has made every effort to minimise disruption and maximise vehicle flow. However, the ongoing road works that are improving our infrastructure may cause delays.
This is the biggest infrastructure project ever undertaken in the South West region and we appreciate the impact this has on road users. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Forward planning and choosing your route will help you manage your expected travel time.
Wherever you choose to go these holidays and however you choose to get there, Main Roads thank you for your patience and understanding as we make the road network safer for your trips down south.
