Menang Drive, also known as the Albany Ring Road, is a 16.6-kilometre-long (10.3 mi) expressway-standard ring road which frames the northern and western suburbs of the city of Albany in Western Australia.

The road provides an uninterrupted free-flowing heavy haulage route from Chester Pass Road in the northeast to Princess Royal Drive and the Port of Albany in the south, in the process connecting the four major access roads that exit to the north and west of the city.

History

Planning for the what was then known as the Albany Ring Road commenced in 1997, however it was not until 24 February 2006 when the then Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Alannah MacTiernan, announced $10.4 million in funding was awarded for the funding of Stage 1.
