Project description

Some sections of Mutawintji Rd are in poor condition with little to no gravel left on the road. As a result, these sections are suspectable to becoming impassable during periods of wet weather, cutting off remote communities’ access to the regional centre of Broken Hill. This project looks to address this issue by reshaping the formation and reconstructing the road with gravel. This project consists of 3.4km of the road in extremely poor condition. This will significantly reduce the length of time that communities are cut off from the regional centre. Some minor grading works have occurred at this location in the past, but a larger intervention is now needed to return the road to acceptable functionality.

The work would include the following - Reshape the formation to help build the pavement to help facilitate drainage - Gravel overlay of 150mm of DGS20 conforming to 3051 TfNSW Specification - Install table drain where required, with batter approximately 4 to 1 - Install minor floodways at required locations - Install appropriate signage (eg water level markers) - Removal of vegetation verge and batters - Pavement would 7m in width when complete
