Economically, it is a vital link as it provides access through the Wheatbelt and Mid West to the resource rich regions of the Pilbara and Kimberley. ...I'd just say, " Economically, it provides vital access through the Wheatbelt and Mid West to the resource rich regions of the Pilbara and Kimberley." (let facts speak for themselves)

with the road widened, turning and overtaking lanes constructed, and improved street lighting - it flow smoother if all three were passive verbs, so "with the road widened, turning and overtaking lanes constructed, and street lighting improved"

Work on Great Northern Highway has remained ceaseless - odd construction..plenty of options for rewording to make more natural-sounding.

Could you elaborate, or provide examples? - Evad37 [talk] 09:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

"Work on Great Northern Highway has been continuous", "Work on Great Northern Highway has continued without pause/gone on without pause" are a couple of permutations that come to mind....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:43, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

 Done, changed remained ceaseless → been continuous - Evad37 [talk] 13:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

A 21-kilometre-long (13 mi) section of between New Norcia and Walebing is scheduled to been reconstructed between mid-2014 and 2016 - err, could remove the "of" and ..."been" to "be"?

As of 2014, the project is awaiting federal approvals - should "approvals" be plural?

 Done - Evad37 [talk] 09:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm taking that as a "yes" then....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:36, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Woops, yes, I meant to say that the source uses the plural form - Evad37 [talk] 13:44, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

No blackspots or historical horror accidents...?

Nothing beyond the routine stuff covered by WP:NOTNEWS - Evad37 [talk] 09:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Might be wroth clearing up before potential FAC...? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:35, 10 August 2014 (UTC) Images to be fixed with OTRS later.

I have asked Gnangarra to comment on the images/licencing - Evad37 [talk] 11:09, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

@Casliber: I have removed the images for now; Gnangarra advises that he'll "address an otrs ticket but it wont be with the time period of ga review" - Evad37 [talk] 00:20, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
