The Boothenba Road-Newell Highway intersection was re-opened from midday on Friday, November 25, after a five-month closure to facilitate road works.

The road was closed in June to upgrade the intersection and create dedicated turning and deceleration lanes for the entry to and exit of the Dubbo Regional Livestock Markets.

Purvis Lane and Yarrandale Road detour have been removed.

Speed restrictions and traffic control will be in place until the completion of the works, with line marking to begin early this month.
