Motorists are being encouraged to think about alternative routes into Bunbury's CBD with a major upgrade to Koombana Drive set to begin next month.
The road is in urgent need of repair with erosion from the Leschenault Inlet and stormwater runoff causing deterioration to the embankment and compromising the road surface, while also impacting on the timber piles supporting the George Baxter Boardwalk.
Bunbury City Council is expected to sign off on the successful construction tender at the end of May, with a timeline for the work to be announced afterwards.
Mayor Gary Brennan said motorists who used Koombana Drive regularly should start considering alternative routes early to avoid delays and congestion with consideration of other motorists and the general public in residential areas.
