Proposed new Eyre Highway site would accomodate up to 36 road trains

A new road train assembly area on the Eyre Highway in Norseman, WA, that includes 36 bays for vehicle combinations of up to 53.5 metres could be on the cards.

Main Roads WA is currently in the design phase for the new site and is seeking industry feedback.

“As a part of the design phase, Main Roads has consulted with industry bodies including Western Roads Federation and Livestock and Rural Transporters Association,” said a Main Roads spokesperson.

“Main Roads is seeking feedback on the proposal from operators who will utilise the facility. Any feedback to the proposed road train assembly area can be sent to gereg@mainroads.wa.gov.au.”

The new road train assembly area will complement the approved Mundrabilla Heavy Vehicle Rest Area and include a holding area should the highway be closed due to bushfire, crashes, etc.
