Great Western Highway repairs doubled to $200 million
The Great Western Highway at Victoria Pass will receive $200 million in combined state and federal funding to repair a crumbling convict-built bridge from 1832 and add a new eastbound climbing lane. The road has been closed for more than five months, forcing drivers onto the narrow Darling Causeway detour which has seen at least three serious crashes. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2027.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
