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. 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.
