Travelling along the Mitchell Highway between Narromine and Dubbo will soon be a smoother ride thanks to two significant upgrades to the infrastructure.

The upgrades include the Brummagen Curve and Minore project and Narromine locals say there are a few reasons why the improvements were needed.

The $11 million in funding was part of the Towards Zero program from the Minns Labor Government with $6 million going towards the Brummagen Curve and $5 million for the Minore project. 

"The Mitchell Highway between Dubbo and Narromine carries thousands of locals, tourists, and freight operators daily," Minister for Regional Roads and Transport Jenny Aitchison said. 

Narromine Shire mayor Ewen Jones said he is glad to see the works go ahead. 

"It is a very busy road, so it's good to see ongoing improvements. And it will be less tough on your car." Cr Jones said.

"It certainly improves the trip. They've done a good job."

Work for the Minore project includes widening and improving of up to two kilometres of road pavement alongside drainage and vegetation removal west of the new Mylangra overtaking lanes. 

The Brummagen Curve project includes curve realignment, wide centre lines and vegetation removal.

The goal of the Towards Zero project is to have no motorist causalities. 

"The Towards Zero Safer Road program delivers important road infrastructure on the key routes most regularly used by motorists across the state," Ms Aitchison said. 

"Investment in road safety is always welcomed, particularly on this key section of the Central West's road network," Labor Duty Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) for Dubbo Stephen Lawrence said.

Roadworks for the safety improvements will begin this month.
