Great Northern Highway – Muchea to Wubin Upgrade Stage 2

PROJECT OVERVIEW
NOVEMBER 2015
MAIN ROADS WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Great Northern Highway –
Muchea to Wubin Upgrade Stage 2
PLANNING REVIEW COMPLETE: CONSTRUCTION TO START IN 2016
Main Roads, in conjunction with industry partners Jacobs and Arup, has completed
a planning review for the Great Northern Highway – Muchea to Wubin. Detailed
designs for construction packages are now being prepared and will be delivered
over the next four years.
This planning review was the first
phase of the project, which has
received funding of $307.8 million
from the Australian Government
and $76.95 million from the State
Government. An additional $23.88
million was also committed by
the Australian Government for the
construction of a New Norcia bypass,
as part of the National Highway Upgrade
Program. This is supplemented with
an additional $5.93 million from the
State Government.
The planning review was informed by
extensive community and stakeholder
feedback from a series of public
information sessions, as well as
close consultation with heavy vehicle
operators, industry bodies and local
government.
This comprehensive consultation
process has helped the project team
develop a revised upgrade strategy for
the highway that identifies and prioritises
a range of construction packages to be
delivered between 2016 and 2019.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH JACOBS | ARUP
These construction packages will
feature a range of improvements such
as town bypasses, road widening, more
passing lanes, flattened crests, reduced
curves, safer roadsides and improved
rest area facilities with greater capacity.
These construction
packages will feature
a range of
improvements …

• Existing highway to become a local access road.
Late 2016

alignment which was endorsed in 2002 and subsequently dismissed. This route
is located to the west of Great Northern Highway and east of Brand Highway.
• Once a route has been selected, additional funding will be sought for
construction.
