Crooks Road
The Shire of Merredin is pleased to announce that construction for the Crooks Road upgrades will commence in March 2025. This significant project will enhance road safety and improve driving conditions for the community and visitors alike.
The works will be completed in two stages. Stage one will involve stabilising the road base to improve its structural integrity. This will be followed by stage two, which will see the application of a new asphalt surface to provide a smoother and more durable roadway.
Motorists are advised that major traffic disruptions are expected during the construction period. To minimise inconvenience, drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and seek alternative routes. The Shire appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this time.
The project is expected to be completed by June 2025, delivering safer and more reliable infrastructure for the benefit of the region.
The Crooks Road upgrades have been made possible through funding from the Australian Government’s Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program and the WA State Government’s Regional Road Group.
For more information, please contact Lawrie Carr, Acting Executive Manager Engineering Services, at the Shire of Merredin on (08) 9041 1611 or via email at emes@merredin.wa.gov.au.
