Project description

Springs Road is an important link in the regional road network and is a Principal Community Access Route and Local Tourist Route. The current road is too narrow, requires realignment and does not have sealed shoulders. The road serves as a public transport route with bus stops along its length. The sealed shoulder will provide the safe operation of the road by providing greater sealed width for vehicles and cyclists due to the road's substandard and inconsistent geometry. There are a number of significant trees and native vegetation within the clear zone that require treatment as part of the project.

Stage 1 (650m) of Springs Road involves widening traffic lanes and sealing the shoulder (3.3m for traffic lanes and 1.5m sealed shoulder). Installation of guard fence including 5 box-beam sites to provide protection within the clear zone of significant trees and also fill embankment. Stage 1 will also include pre-construction activities for future realignments to be undertaken as part of stage 2. Pre-construction activities include necessary accommodation works (fencing, vegetation).

Total cost of proposed project is $1,000,000
