The southernmost 13.6 km (8.5 mi) section was narrow-sealed, the northernmost 101.4 km (63.0 mi) section (between south of Beagle Bay and its northern terminus) was sealed, and the middle 90 km (56 mi) section was unsealed.[1] During the wet season, the unsealed section was often closed because flooding made it impassable.
The road is vital for servicing communities on the Dampier Peninsula and is also a popular tourist attraction. The road is maintained by the Shire of Broome.
