New Four Leg Roundabout to Increase Safety at Hosken Street and North West Coastal Highway Intersection

Geraldton MLA Ian Blayney has welcomed the decision to upgrade the busy intersection of North West Coastal Highway and Hosken Street in wider Geraldton into a new four-leg roundabout.

“I'm very pleased to see this project being given the go-ahead.

“I have been advocating for the project since being elected 

“It will make a significant difference to road safety and the safety of the community.

“The project was ready to go last year, but was held up in negotiations with the City.

Following community consultation and feedback Main Roads Western Australia has finalised designs for a roundabout to replace the existing T-junction at Hosken Street and provide a new connection to Spalding via Horan Street.

 The roundabout will include separate left-turn lanes on Horan Street, Hosken Street and North West Coastal Highway northbound and an upgraded shared path network for pedestrians and cyclists, in line with community feedback.

 It will be designed to accommodate a future dual carriageway on North West Coastal Highway in this location to provide for heavy and oversized vehicles.
