Project description

The project involved raising and re-sheeting the existing road formation using imported natural soil material. The road level was increased by approximately 300 mm to 450 mm along a total length of 5.3 kilometres, based on site conditions and required flood immunity levels. These works were undertaken to address ongoing issues where the road surface was frequently inundated during minor flood events, resulting in reduced accessibility, safety concerns, and increased maintenance requirements. By raising the road formation and re-establishing the road surface, the likelihood of water overtopping the road during minor flooding has been significantly reduced. As a result, the upgraded road now provides improved all-weather access, enhanced safety for road users, and greater resilience against future flood events, while also reducing long-term maintenance costs.
