Project description

The road is a popular tourist route and a vital link between Cowell and the developing township of Port Gibbon. The road requires construction and seal to correct poor geometry. All horizontal curves are substandard with no super elevation, resulting in unsafe environment for motorists. There are environmental risks due to excessive dust generated from the unsealed surface, this road also accesses a newly constructed Oyster Hatchery, dust generated adversely affects the survival rates of hatchling oysters and also affects the surrounding marine environment. Sealing this road will provide an all weather transport link to the developing settlement of Port Gibbon for emergency services, sections of the road are currently impassable during wet weather.

Full construction of an 8 metre sealed pavement with 1.5m unsealed shoulder to Austroads standards. Installation of drainage culverts where required and application of a 14/7 C130 sprayed seal

Total cost of proposed project is $700,000
