15.01.2022 ROADWORKS: Gus Winckel and Old Broome Road Intersection Upgrade Works are commencing on 28 April (Tuesday) to upgrade the intersection of Gus Winckel and ...Old Broome Road. This intersection was identified as a safety blackspot within the Shire, so works are commencing to address the safety risk. The project is jointly funded by the Federal Blackspot Program, the Broome International Airport and the Shire of Broome, and will see the construction of designated turning lanes and refuge islands along with an upgrade to pedestrian paths through the intersection. Construction will be staged to ensure Old Broome Road will remain open throughout the works, however access into and out of Gus Winckel Drive will be disrupted during the construction with airport access available through Jigal Drive. Traffic management will be in place during construction, and we appreciate in advance the care taken driving through the area. The works will be completed by local contractor McCorry Brown Earthmoving and are forecast to complete by the end of August.
