Since December 2022 our contractors have been cutting into land on the inside of the sharp bend so drivers can better see the road layout as they approach and negotiate the bend.
Now that the ground is prepared, our contractors will reconstruct and widen the pavement, improve the road camber and resurface with a more skid resistant surface to improve safety.
The final step will be the new safety barrier and road markings.
🛑🟢 The contractor will be setting-out the site in early March and expect to start construction soon, for completion by the end of May (weather permitting). To keep everyone safe during the work, speed limits will be reduced to 30km/h and temporary traffic lights will be installed to allow one lane of traffic past the work site at a time.
Hours of operation during the works are 7am to 7pm on weekdays, and on Saturdays when required. The works will be shut down during public holidays to alleviate impacts to holiday traffic.

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. These are the business owners who remind us we're home.
Give your favourite local business owner the recognition they deserve by nominating them in the 2023 Prospa Local Business Hero awards.
