Opening up more of Indian Ocean to SUP

Official opening - 19 September 2010

After many years of planning and more than two years of construction, the Lancelin-Cervantes Stage 2 Project Team is proud to announce that the much anticipated Lancelin to Cervantes section of Indian Ocean Drive will be officially opened on Sunday 19 September; and will be open to traffic from 3.00 pm on that day.

With the assistance of favourable winter weather, construction has been able to continue at an accelerated pace and as a result, the road will be completed approximately nine months ahead of schedule.

The final product is a testament to all who have been involved and there is no doubt that the road will be very much appreciated by local communities and tourists.

It is important to note however, that the road will remain closed to general traffic whilst minor works continue to operate up to the official opening date.

We would like to thank the general public for their support and patience during the road construction and we request your continued cooperation in using current/existing routes until after 3.00 pm Sunday 19 September 2010.

Please note that work on upgrading the old Pinnacles Drive (south of Cervantes) will continue until the end of October 2010.

Motorists in the area should exercise care whilst works are in progress.

Happy travelling!
