Wimmera Highway Junction Upgrades

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport is undertaking essential junction and highway upgrades on the Wimmera Highway near Naracoorte, which will improve road safety for all road users and increase freight productivity on the road network.

The two junction projects will facilitate improved freight access for higher productivity vehicles up to 35.6 metres in length (Performance Based Standards Level 3A road trains) to local businesses, the Teys Australia Naracoorte facility and the QUBE Hynam Depot.

The projects are both jointly funded (80:20) by the Australian and South Australian governments as part of the South Australian Rural Roads Package.

Scope of works:

  • construction of two new junctions on the Wimmera Highway, including the provision of sheltered right turn lanes into both businesses;
  • a dedicated left turn deceleration into Teys Australia;
  • new asphalt and line marking;
  • new LED lighting;
  • safety barrier installation; and
  • upgraded drainage.

Project timing

Major works commenced in early January 2023 and were completed in August 2023.
