Travel update 14 May 2025
Laverton shire has reopened the Anne Beadell highway as far as the WA border.
From the latest road report:
Exercise extreme caution.
Vehicle drivers passengers planning
travel across the SA border are to ensure all
approvals are obtained from the
appropriate agencies on the South
Australian side of the
Anne Beadell before commencing their journey.
Note that there will be no fuel available at Ilkurlka until road damage from the March 2024 floods has been repaired to allow fuel resupply. We do not know when the grader will reach here but possibly in the next month.​​
​
A start on repairing the rain damage from March last year has been made but there remains another 210km or so to go. We do not know when this final section will be completed.
