Project description

The existing sealed width of Narrung Road varies between 6.0 m and 6.5 m, with inconsistent shoulder widths and conditions. Some sections have narrow, unpaved shoulders with or without edge line markings, while others show deterioration and uneven edges. In places, sealed shoulders are as narrow as 0.1 to 0.2 m, accompanied by narrow unpaved shoulders. This project will widen the seal to a consistent 6.4 m, with 0.5 m sealed and 1.0 m unsealed shoulders on each side, enhancing safety and reducing maintenance caused by deteriorated edges. Currently, Narrung Road is not gazetted for restricted access heavy vehicles, so all such vehicles must operate under permit.

The section of Narrung Road is a Regionally Significant Community Access Route and a Locally Important Freight and Tourist Route under the Murrayland and Riverland LGA 2030 Regional Transport Plan. As the sole land-based access to Narrung, Raukkan, and surrounding areas, it provides a vital link to Meningie and beyond. The route supports local dairy farms and general freight movement. This project will upgrade the road to a fit-for-purpose standard, with 2 x 3.2 m lanes, 0.5 m sealed shoulders, and 1.0 m unsealed shoulders. Council/s contribution: $409,000.00

Total cost of proposed project is $1,228,000
