The existing flood way which is 500m long is frequently washed away with the flood and the 50km road network has bull dust holes and corrugations. Efter the completion of the projects the flood way will become better and the bull dust wholes and corrugations will be repaired.Rip and compact 100mm of the existing pavement 8m wide for 500m length. 200mm gravel overlay on the flood way, stabilise and seal. Put rock boulders on upstream and downstream side with cement slurry binder. Foramation grading of 50km of road network.
The road is a popular tourist route and a vital link between Cowell and the developing township of Port Gibbon. The road requires construction and seal to correct poor geometry. All horizontal curves are substandard with no super elevation, resulting in unsafe environment for motorists. There are environmental risks due to excessive dust generated from the unsealed surface, this road also accesses a newly constructed Oyster Hatchery, dust generated adversely affects the survival rates of hatchling oysters and also affects the surrounding marine environment. Sealing this road will provide an all weather transport link to the developing settlement of Port Gibbon for emergency services, sections of the road are currently impassable during wet weather.Full construction of an 8 metre sealed pavement with 1.5m unsealed shoulder to Austroads standards. Installation of drainage culverts where required and application of a 14/7 C130 sprayed seal.Total cost of proposed project is $1,050,000
The Basedow Road section is located in an area with highly reactive black clay soils, with typical expansion factors of more than 150mm heave. As a result, the road pavement and kerb and gutter has deformed excessively since construction with deflection of up to 200mm across sections of the road pavement and kerb and gutter alignment. This excessive road deflection severely impedes drainage flows creating deep ponding on the road surface and within the gutter. The ponding water often overflows the top of kerb across the verge into adjacent business and residential allotments, causing localised flooding. Ponding of water is accelerating pavement failure with ingress of water aggravating further pavement deflection. The undulated pavement no longer provides an acceptable level of service in terms of rideable surface, drainage or serviceability and as such the current level of surface provided on Basedow Road, from Walden Street to Menge Road is no longer fit for purpose to accommodate the designated mix of heavy vehicles cars, bicycles and pedestrians. The works will include widening of the wings at the intersection of Basedow Road and Menge Road to safely accommodate the prescribed PBS level 2 vehicles. Basedow Road is currently gazetted as a PBS level 2A (equivalent 26m B-double vehicle) route. The freight industry has been proactively requesting through the national Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) upgrade of the route to a PBS level 2B (equivalent 30m A-Double vehicle)Work proposed includes reconstruction of failed pavement and kerb and gutter infrastructure on Basedow Road from Walden Street to Menge Road, including widening of the
wings at the Basedow Road / Menge Road intersection.The present road pavement width will be retained, with kerb to kerb distance of 10 metres - plus compacted rubble footpath verge and 1.5 metre wide sealed footpath on both sides. The road pavement is to be a bituminous hotmix pavement wearing course. Works will include consideration of a range of construction techniques such as full depth pavement reconstruction, subgrade conditioning and use of mechanical Geogrid technology. The road horizontal alignment will be maintained along the straight. At the intersection of Basedow Road and Menge Road, the wings will be widened as required to accommodate the PBS level 2B design vehicle, to provide a consistent speed environment commensurate to the vehicle type and local physical constraints such as boundaries and stobie pole infrastructure. This project will upgrade Basedow Road to a level of service sufficient to accommodate its designated freight and community access level of service requirements.Total cost of proposed project is $1,200,000
The road currently is sealed with traffic lanes of 3.1m. The road does not have sealed shoulders. The current road serves as part of the public transport route with 3 bus stops along its length serving the adjacent rural living areas. The current posted speed limit is 80km/h. The road has substandard and inconsistent road geometry with a reverse curve and single radius curve between Ruben Pope Crt and Bald Hills Road. The option to realign these horizontal elements to meet the current posted speed of 80km/h has been investigated and considered to be uneconomical and have significant impact on land acquisition requirements. The horizontal design proposes a consistent minimum 65km/h design speed through these horizontal elements with lane width increases and maximum super-elevation. Appropriate delineation will be installed.Stage 4 and final stage of the road upgrade will provide wider traffic lanes and a sealed shoulder. (Proposed 3.3m traffic lanes and 1.5m sealed shoulders) The sealed shoulder will improve the safe operation of the road by providing greater sealed width for vehicles and also provide an area for cyclists. The project will provide improvements to delineation and lighting of the existing junctions with Waterford Avenue, Burnbank Way and Ruben Pope Crt. In addition the junction to the wetlands and school oval will be upgraded. The road upgrade will also include the installation of guard fence including 5 box-beam sites to provide protection within the clear zone of significant trees and also fill embankments.Total cost of proposed project is $1,340,000
The road network in the Barossa region is subject to continuous increase for tourism and commercial traffic to destinations such as Seppeltsfield Winery and local agricultural businesses. Traffic data shows visitation numbers of approximately 642,710 trips per year, including 7.5% of commercial vehicles with further growth expected in the coming years due to growth in the area. The tourist traffic combined with the local commuter and freight movements are affecting the existing roads and related infrastructure. The traffic counts also indicate that over weekends and public holidays, a similar or higher number of vehicle movements on this route as during weekdays. This indicates a high volume of tourist traffic movements. There is a high number of cycling activities on Stonewell Road and surrounding road network during the warmer months. Cycle Tourism has been rapidly growing in popularity in the Barossa region thanks to the benefits of Tour Down Under event and local Council’s continuous effort to plan and expand on-road bike path and off-road shared use paths. This would further encourage and attract local, interstate and overseas cyclists to the region. At present, Stonewell Road does not have sufficient road width and good road surface to provide a safe road environment for cyclists. Stonewell Road also currently acts as an alternate traffic route for traffic bypassing the Barossa Valley Way and Nuriootpa. Therefore, it carries a high volume of commuter traffic between Tanunda and the western entrance to Nuriootpa and to the Sturt Highway (in excess of 1000 vehicles on weekdays. In recent years, Stonewell Road has become a collector road for the Barossa regional road network and is used by local community, tourists and businesses. Existing road infrastructure is in need of significant improvement to facilitate current and future development and traffic demands.
Key objective of the proposed Stonewell Road Upgrade project is to improve road safety and efficiency for all road users, by resurface/reconstruction of key sections of Stonewell Road and its sealed shoulders, upgrade of intersections, improving road drainage, installation of hazard protection, traffic control devices, and directional signage.
Currently, Stonewell Road has a narrow road width of 6.4m, with no sealed shoulders or edgelines, poor pavement and road surface condition.The current sealed width will be increased from 6.4m (average) to a total width of 9m that will include 2 x 3.3m traffic lanes and a minimum of 1.2m sealed shoulders on either side. Widening the shoulders will also provide a safer route for cyclists to travel on this road and provide connection to the Seppeltsfield Road Bike Path that terminates at the intersection of Seppeltsfield Road and Stonewell Road.Total cost of proposed project is $871,000
