(1) The roadworks referred to extend over 2.5 km of South Western Highway, on the northern approach to the Mullalyup townsite. The work includes a 500 metre extension to the existing northbound passing lane, and some improvements to the road alignment. The completed works will have widened and sealed shoulders and improved clear zones which will provide a significant improvement to road safety on this section of highway.
(2) The total cost of the works is expected to be $2.52M.
(3) Works commenced in February 2008.
(4) Works were scheduled for completion in May 2008. However, works on this project experienced significant delays as a result of rainfall in April 2008, which was more than twice the average for April. The works have now been suspended as it is not possible to complete them before winter. It is expected that work will re-commence in October 2008 and will be complete by November 2008
A two lane sealed road is continuous through the project site. Therefore the delayed completion will have a minimal impact on road users. However, to ensure a safe road environment until the works are complete, a 1.4km temporary extension to the 80 km/hr speed zone on the northern approach to the Mullalyup townsite is being considered.
