Project description

The unsealed condition of this 4.5 km section of Bethel Road presents ongoing safety, accessibility, and maintenance issues. As part of a regionally significant freight route, the current surface limits efficiency for commercial vehicles, increases dust and noise impacts on nearby properties, and imposes a high maintenance burden on Council. Upgrading this section is essential to improving road safety, freight productivity, and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

The proposed works for Bethel Road – Stage 2 involve upgrading approximately 4.5 km by widening and sealing the carriageway to 7.0 metres, improving road geometry where feasible, and strengthening the pavement to a depth of 450 mm to accommodate current and future traffic loads. Traffic control measures and warning signs will be installed as needed, with the speed limit remaining at 100 km/h. Council/s contribution - $667,000.00

Total cost of proposed project is $2,000,000
