Project description

The existing road pavement is completely worn through to the natural surface resulting in a narrowing of the trafficable road surface and damage to the surface. The natural surface is slippery when wet and has inadequate drainage which has caused the formation of potholes creating hazards to road users and resulted in further deterioration of the road surface. Booborowie Road is a high maintenance open surface road, daily traffic volumes between 30-40 vehicles per day of which 20% are heavy vehicles. The road is a main north/south connection in the Belalie area providing a link to the Wilkins Highway to the south, Belalie Road to the west and the township of Peterborough to the north. It is a commodity route for 26m B doubles carting hay/grain/wool. Heavy vehicle usage increases during the seasonal harvest times.

Council will renew Booborowie Road to Council's category 2 standard being 8m width and a pavement depth of 150mm. Drains and culverts will be cleaned and replaced as necessary . Work will require approximately 13,000m3 of rubble.

Total cost of proposed project is $276,168
