Geraldton–Mount Magnet Road is a 335-kilometre-long (208 mi)[1] major regional road in the Mid West region of Western Australia,[2] starting in Utakarra in Geraldton's eastern suburbs, and terminating 333 kilometres (207 mi) east-northeast at Great Northern Highway near the mining town of Mount Magnet. The road is signed as State Route 123, is a two-lane single carriageway for its entire length, and is a major traffic route which is regularly used by heavy vehicles and mine/grain road trains.[3]

The construction of Stage Two of the Geraldton Southern Transport Corridor is expected to remove considerable traffic from the Geraldton end of the road.

## History[edit]

Prior to 2010, Geraldton-Mount Magnet Road ran through Utakarra, Rangeway and Geraldton's main industrial area and terminated at North West Coastal Highway around 450 meters north of its current intersection. Construction of a bypass began around 2007-2008 and the 8.3-kilometre-long (5.2 mi) section of the bypass opened in February 2010.

## Description[edit]

Geraldton–Mount Magnet Road commences in Utakarra as a continuation of Utakarra Road, which carries State Route 123 from North West Coastal Highway 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) to the southwest. It heads east towards Geraldton Airport, then east-northeast through the flat-topped Moresby Ranges on its way towards the agricultural town of Mullewa. It then travels in a generally straight line through Yalgoo and ends at the Great Northern Highway 3 kilometres (2 mi) south of Mount Magnet.
