Changes to Traffic on Augusta Highway
BETWEEN TILBROO RD (Beaufort) & CATFORD RD (Nantawarra)
Q: Why is a newly built road already deteriorating?
A: It’s common for some pavement settlement or minor defects to emerge in the months after construction, as the road is exposed to traffic loads and weather. This is exactly why a defect liability period exists: to identify and fix any issues early before they affect long-term performance.
Q: What does “wide vehicles will be accommodated” mean?
A: No detours are required. Wide loads can still travel through the work zone, but operators should contact the project team in advance on 1300 161 407 to arrange safe passage through the restricted section.
Q: How long will this take to fix permanently?
A: Investigations are underway to determine the cause and scope of remediation. We expect restrictions to remain until end of June 2026 and will update the community if that timeframe changes.
Q: Is the road safe to drive on right now?
A: Yes. Speed and lane restrictions have been put in place specifically to maintain safety while works are assessed. One lane remains open at all times.
Q: Will my driveway access be impacted? (For those who live near the speed restricted zone)
A: Access to properties remains open, but please contact the project team on 1300 161 407 to be updated once investigations are completed.
