Project description

Portland Road is the primary access to the Lockhart River Community. The Pascoe River Crossing is a major causeway on Portland Road that has poor sight stopping distance, issues with draining the water away from the road surface and no warning signage into the crossing.

Pascoe River Crossing Upgrades: - Widening the existing road on the Wenlock River side of Pascoe Crossing (Southern side) to improve the road alignment and provide a dual carriageway width. - Benching of the southern embankment (downstream embankment on the Wenlock River side of the crossing) to improve sight distance. - Provide table drains to improve road drainage to reduce water flow across the road carriageway. - Installation of a diversion drain at the top of the hill, approximately 280m from the Causeway (Southern side). - Provide advance warning signs for the floodway and bends approaching the crossing (both Northern and Southern sides) - Widen the existing road on the Northern side (Lockhart River side of the Pascoe Crossing) (Eastern side of the road) to improve the alignment coming onto the crossing and provide a dual carriageway width. - 2.0m wide x 0.2m deep x 330m long Rock Lined Table Drain from Ch 20.42 – 20.75: Southern side of the road. - 2.0m wide x 0.2m deep x 130m long Rock Lined Table Drain from Ch 20.89 – 21.02: Northern side of the road.
