Geraldton–Mount Magnet Road


Geraldton–Mount Magnet Road is a major regional road in the Mid West region of Western Australia, starting in Utakarra in Geraldton's eastern suburbs, and terminating 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.
The construction of Stage Two of the Geraldton Southern Transport Corridor is expected to remove considerable traffic from the Geraldton end of the road.
