Project description

The major problem that is being addressed is the poor drainage system that is affecting the road. The road was constructed within approximately 20m road reserve, without formal drainage lines and vehicle accesses. For this reason, sections of the road pavement has failed, property access are soft (primarily during the wet season) and downstream flooding occurs.

The whole section of the road has been redesigned, in order to: a) fit road side table drains to handle the upstream storm-water runoff; b) protect road pavement and c) allow fit for purpose vehicle accesses. The works comprise: - shifting the road centre line to allow construction of drainage and pedestrian accesses. - constructing new road side table drains. - upgrading the whole length of the pavement. - constructing vehicle accesses and drainage crossings to improve the storm water system. - Drainage work including, establishment of grassing on the batters on table drains, and rocks along the road to protect table drains.
