About: Great Northern Highway

An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Great Northern Highway is an Australian highway that links Western Australia's capital city Perth with its northernmost port, Wyndham. With a length of almost 3,200 kilometres (2,000 mi), it is the longest highway in Australia, with the majority included as part of the Perth Darwin National Highway. The highway is constructed as a sealed, predominantly two-lane single carriageway, but with some single-lane bridges in the Kimberley. The Great Northern Highway travels through remote areas of the state, and is the only sealed road link between the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia. Economically, it provides vital access through the Wheatbelt and Mid West to the resource-rich regions of the Pilbara and Kimberley. In these areas, the key industries of mining, agriculture and pas

dbo:abstract
  • Der Great Northern Highway ist eine Fernstraße im Norden und Westen des australischen Bundesstaates Western Australia. Er verbindet die Hauptstadt des Staates, Perth, mit dessen nördlichster Hafenstadt, Wyndham. Mit 3204 Kilometern ist er der längste Highway in Australien. Der größte Teil ist zweispurig angelegt; Ausnahmen bilden einige einspurige Brücken in der Kimberley-Region. Der Highway gehört zu den abgelegensten befestigten Straßen der Welt: Man kann Hunderte von Kilometern fahren, ohne auch nur eine Raststätte anzutreffen. Ökonomisch gesehen ist er eine lebenswichtige Verbindung, da er Zugang zu den ressourcenreichen Regionen von Pilbara und Kimberley gewährt. In diesen Gebieten hängen alle wichtigen Wirtschaftszweige, wie beispielsweise Bergbau oder Tourismus, vom Highway ab. (de)
  • Great Northern Highway is an Australian highway that links Western Australia's capital city Perth with its northernmost port, Wyndham. With a length of almost 3,200 kilometres (2,000 mi), it is the longest highway in Australia, with the majority included as part of the Perth Darwin National Highway. The highway is constructed as a sealed, predominantly two-lane single carriageway, but with some single-lane bridges in the Kimberley. The Great Northern Highway travels through remote areas of the state, and is the only sealed road link between the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia. Economically, it provides vital access through the Wheatbelt and Mid West to the resource-rich regions of the Pilbara and Kimberley. In these areas, the key industries of mining, agriculture and pastoral stations, and tourism are all dependent on the highway. In Perth, the highway begins in Midland near Great Eastern Highway, and further north intersects the Reid and Roe highways, which together form Perth's ring road. There are also three rural highways that spur off Great Northern Highway. Brand Highway and North West Coastal Highway provide an alternative coastal route between Muchea and Port Hedland, while Victoria Highway carries the National Highway route and interstate traffic into the Northern Territory. Various road routes are allocated to sections of Great Northern Highway, including the Highway 1 routes National Route 1 and National Highway 1, as well as National Highway 95. The highway was created in 1944 from existing roads in the Wheatbelt and a series of tracks through remote pastoral areas. However, it was a hazardous route that could be dusty in the dry season, and boggy or washed away in the wet season. Some sections were effectively impassable sand, while others contained limestone outcrops. Economic growth and development in northern Western Australia prompted initial improvement efforts, and the federal government's Beef Roads Scheme in the 1960s resulted in a noticeably higher-quality road in the Kimberley. Construction of a sealed road from Perth to Wyndham, including numerous bridges to reduce the impact of seasonal flooding, took many years to complete. The last section opened on 16 December 1989, and received national media coverage. However, by then many older sections were either worn out or not up to modern standards. Various upgrades have been carried out in small sections, across the length of the highway, with further works planned. The southernmost part of the highway, from Midland to Muchea, was bypassed in 2020 by the NorthLink WA project that upgraded and extended the Tonkin Highway to Muchea. This section remains in use for local traffic and tourism to the Swan Valley area. (en)
  • De Great Northern Highway is een van de belangrijkste wegen in West-Australië en verbindt de hoofdstad van de deelstaat, Perth, met de noordelijkste havenstad Wyndham. De weg heeft een lengte van 3204 kilometer waarvan 3144 kilometer deel uitmaakt van de National Highway. Behalve een paar bruggen in de regio Kimberley is het grootste gedeelte uitgevoerd als een tweebaansweg. Deze weg is de langste highway in Australië en is op sommige delen de meest afgelegen geasfalteerde weg ter wereld. In de weg bevinden zich secties van honderden kilometers waarlangs zelfs niet eens een te vinden is. In economisch opzicht is het de toegangsweg tot de grondstofrijke gebieden zoals de regio's Pilbara en Kimberley. In deze gebieden zijn industrieën, landbouw en toerisme grotendeels van deze weg afhankelijk. (nl)
