The project comprised the construction of 7.5 km of highway standard dual carriageway road between Berrimah Road and Palmerston, including a grade-separated interchange with the Stuart Highway. and is worth approximately $100 million. The new extension will provides an alternative route to reduce travel time for approximately 34,000 vehicles using the Darwin to Palmerston corridor daily. The total construction cost of both stages was approximately $127 million.

Famous quotes containing the words tiger, drive and/or extension:
“The tiger in the tiger-pit
Is not more irritable than I.
The whipping tail is not more still
Than when I smell the enemy
Writhing in the essential blood
Or dangling from the friendly tree.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Smoking ... is downright dangerous. Most people who smoke will eventually contract a fatal disease and die. But they don’t brag about it, do they? Most people who ski, play professional football or drive race cars, will not die—at least not in the act—and yet they are the ones with the glamorous images, the expensive equipment and the mythic proportions. Why this should be I cannot say, unless it is simply that the average American does not know a daredevil when he sees one.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
