Marble Bar Nullagine current road conditions

Joe
And excellent reply in every aspect and accuracy.
Thanks for that, it's good to see local input to local conditions rather than the typical ramble from Bloggsy from Blogsville that was there 2 years ago.
Am looking to maybe travel the same route in a month or so, and considering the changes on that road from a couple of years ago, will try to contact you when closer to Newman

G'day Flighty

Thanks mate, I trust you won't mind me making a correction to my reply to the original post, as I did not deduct a side trip distance off the T junction to the first rail crossing total of Kilometres.

I had a look in at Gina Rineharts airport that will service the Roy Hill mining operations, so this little side trip added a few extra klicks to the actual Marble Bar road distance.

Maps currently on sale do not show any of this mining activity associated road realignment, yet this new section is very significant as it dissects the Southern end of the Chichester Ranges and there is now a rail line through what was for centuries Red Gorge which was once the original Nullagine/Marble Bar Road alignment.

The T junction to the rail crossing is just a tad over 15 kilometres and all bitumen ~ although its a new road the sealed surface is already breaking up in several places due to the heavy haulage running between the accommodation village and various rail line work sites off the Marble Bar road.

The Fortescue River at Roy Hill Station was flowing hard and over the causeway on the bridge bypass section, the water was just below the bottom of the road bridge ~ the bridge is single lane and rough as guts.

I am more than happy to help with any other local or regional information.

Safe travels : Joe

Thanks Joe.

We will be a few days getting to there but your information is just what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to reply..really appreciate it.
