Tender Description
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (the Department) will be delivering various overtaking lanes on both Lincoln Highway and Eyre Highway between Whyalla and Port Augusta and shoulder sealing works on Eyre Highway between Lincoln Highway Turn Off and Port Augusta as part of the Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) initiative.
The installation of various overtaking lanes between Whyalla and Port Augusta will improve safety and user experience on this section of Lincoln Highway and Eyre Highway, increase freight productivity and reduce travel time of the general public.
Widening the existing seal and providing a minimum of 1.5 metre sealed shoulder and 0.8 metre unsealed shoulder on each side of the road (outside the extent of the Overtaking Lanes) will also improve freight access, provide an extended recovery zone to reduce the likelihood of run off-road type crashes and increase compliance of the Eyre Highway for future access by Performance Based Standards Scheme Level 4A vehicles (53m triple road trains) requirements as part of a state-wide 4A network.
