THE $5 million Coalfields project undertaken by Henry Walker Eltin Contracting was officially opened by Transport Minster Murray Criddle recently.
Mr Criddle described the project as a major boost for local users, tourists and commercial operators who travel through the South West and Wheatbelt regions.
The project included a stopping lane and an emergency arrester bed on the steepest descent of the Coalfields Highway and key works on the South Western Highway and Raymond Road.
Member for Murray-Wellington John Bradshaw said the project provided benefits to residents and transport operators who travel through Roelands.
“The reconstruction of Roelands intersection will also enhance the quality of life for Roelands residents by removing the need for road trains to be detoured down Government Road as was previously the case,” Mr Bradshaw said.
