Barrier Highway Upgrades

We are undertaking planning for improvements to the Barrier Highway between Cockburn and Burra. These upgrades are funded by the Australian and South Australian governments. Extending approximately 305km, this section of Barrier Highway passes through the townships of Olary, Yunta, Terowie, Hallett and Mount Bryan.

The upgrades will improve safety, freight efficiency and support regional economic growth.
