Benefits
- A consistently wide, sealed road that allows two-way traffic along the entire route.
- Straighter road and better visibility to make driving safer.
- A stronger road surface designed to handle heavy vehicles.
- Upgraded bridges and culverts to improve reliability and reduce flood impacts.
- Safer travel overall for local residents, emergency services and businesses.
