Abattoirs Road is a busy local arterial road providing access to the southern area of Port Pirie from National Highway 1.  A 2.2km section of Abattoirs Road originally had a series of tight curves after a long straight section, and this combined with a narrow seal width resulted in a number of safety deficiencies. This project involved the re-alignment of the 2.2km section of Abattoirs Road adjacent to Warnertown, with the aim of reducing the tight horizontal geometry, increasing the seal width and improving road safety.
