About the project
We are repairing and strengthening two sections of the Brooker Highway near Claremont Link Road.
Work started in late October 2025 and we expect the project to be completed by late December 2025.
Map
Timing
Work will take place from 6:30 pm to 6:30 am, Sunday evening to Friday morning each week.
Please note the lowered speed limit of 60 km/h will stay in place 24/7, even when workers are not on site, due to uneven road surface and no line markings.
Ramp closures
To complete this work, we will be temporarily closing the Bridgewater-bound off-ramp from the Brooker Highway onto Claremont Link Road, and the Bridgewater-bound on-ramp from Claremont Link Road onto the Brooker Highway.
These closures will take place from 10:00 pm to 2:00 am, Tuesday, 9 December 2025 to Thursday, 11 December 2025.
Detours will be in place during this time for road users travelling toward Bridgewater via Claremont Link Road. Please see the map below for detour information.
