Dorat Road was originally constructed during World War II as part of the original Stuart Highway alignment, which was later bypassed owing to steep climbs and tight curves along the route. In the 1960s most bridges and floodways were resurfaced, and the entire length is currently sealed.[2] In 1987 the current name was gazetted, taken from the acronym D.O.R.A.T. (Darwin Overland Road Authorities Transport), an organisation formed in 1942 by state transport authorities of Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales to transport materials used in the construction of the Stuart Highway from the then railhead at Alice Springs.[3] With the adoption of a state route numbering system of rural roads maintained by the Northern Territory Government in the same year, Dorat Road was designated and signposted as state route 23.[4] See also{{portal-inline|Australian Roads}}References1. ^{{cite map |title=Australia Road and 4WD Atlas|last=Hema |first=Maps|year=2007 |publisher=Hema Maps|location=Eight Mile Plains Queensland|isbn=978-1-86500-456-3||pages=95}} {{Road infrastructure in Northern Territory}}{{Australia-road-stub}}{{NorthernTerritory-stub}}2. ^http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/sites/default/files/Stuart_Highway_nom2.pdf 3. ^http://www.ntlis.nt.gov.au/placenames/view.jsp?id=5914 4. ^http://www.ozroads.com.au/NT/routenumbering/state/stateroutes.htm {{Self-published source|date=December 2013}} 1 : Roads in the Northern Territory |
