Planning is currently underway for the Main Roads Tonkin Highway extension. On track for completion in 2026, the plan sees a 14km, four lane dual carriageway extension of the Tonkin Highway from Thomas Road through to South Western Highway. The extra lanes are expected to improve traffic flow, streamlining the critical transport link from Muchea to Mundijong. 

When completed, this new addition will see congestion in the area reduced, allowing residents to enjoy much faster travel times to and from the city—and you can get home to your family sooner.
