Active work
Western Highway asphalt patching works, Gordon to Beaufort
Maintenance works on the Western Highway are underway.
Crews are working to repair the road surface on multiple sections of the road between Gordon and Beaufort.
We'll be on site between 7am and 7pm, from Monday 5 October to Monday 26 October 2026, with the possibility of some weekend works.
During works, lane closures are in place, with reduced speed limits to keep crews and road users safe.
Please note: These dates and times are subject to change due to weather conditions.
