Project description

The Jakelwar-Goodooga Rd is one of Council's highly utilised roads that connects St George, Dirranbandi and Bollon via Bollon-Dirranbandi Road. The road is predominantly gravel/unsealed road, therefore due to its high utilisation it creates faster deterioration requiring regular maintenance at large costs to Council's operating budget. The upgrade and sealing of additional sections of road allows the safety of the road to be largely increased as the deterioration of this section of road is dramatically reduced, therefore creating safer network for road users. While reducing Council's operating costs for maintaining this particular road which then allows Council to focus on improving other council roads within the network.

Bitumen Seal of Unsealed Section. 50% of this project is being funded by Dept Transport & Main Roads under the Transport Infrastructure Delivery Scheme (TIDS)

Total cost of proposed project is $1,183,290
