Reconstruction Begins on Southern Ports Highway Between Southend and Beachport

The overhaul is intended to boost road safety for freight, tourism, local traffic.

Overview

  • Phase four work crews will commence full reconstruction of the highway segment in early July after completing resurfacing stages.
  • Contractors will replace underlying pavement layers to extend the road’s lifespan and reduce maintenance frequency.
  • Thousands of motorists should expect significant delays as speed restrictions and alternating traffic controls are implemented.
  • Designated detours will reroute vehicles via local roads with temporary signage guiding drivers around the construction zone.
  • This upgrade is part of a government-led multi-stage initiative to modernize transport links to regional ports and communities.
