Project description

The existing 6.0m wide bitumen seal is too narrow for the number of commercial and passenger vehicles and bicycles using this section of Rob Veivers Drive. Passing vehicles combined with bicycle traffic are unable to pass without utilising the unsealed road verge or the table drain which creates an unsafe environment for the road users. The existing road pavement is also substandard and is showing signs of detoriation from heavy use by commercial vehicles.

The proposed works include the widening of the existing 6.0m wide bitumen road to 9.0m, to allow for the safe passing of commercial and passenger vehicles and bicyles, and the reconstruction of the existing road pavement to improve it's load bearing capacity.

Total cost of proposed project is $504,117
