An upgrade to Orton Road is currently under construction and once complete, will provides residents with direct access to the future Tonkin Highway.
Tonkin Highway Extension
Planning is currently underway for the Main Roads Tonkin Highway extension, which sees a 14km, four lane dual carriageway extension of the Tonkin Highway from Thomas Road through to South Western Highway. The extra lanes are expected to improve traffic flow, streamlining the critical transport link from Muchea to Mundijong.
