(1) The majority of the highway within the Halls Creek to Bow River section is 30 years old and is unsuitable for a widening process.

(2)-(3) No funding for this project has been allocated at this stage. (4) The anticipated completion date of the project will depend upon funding. (5) The Great Northern Highway forms part of the national highway and as such is the responsibility of the Commonwealth Government. No funds have been committed at this stage.
