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.
