Project DescriptionThe current road design and construction is not fit for purpose, due to increased land development, use by cyclists and the construction of a new interchange with the South Eastern Freeway. Problems with the existing road include a number of large trees close to the existing edge of the road and effecting road safety, restricted sightlines at road intersections along the road, poor or no provision for shoulders, poor deliniation of the road at night poor stormwater infrastructure and subsoil drainage, insufficient seal width to cope with growing and expected volumes of traffic, poor pavement strength and ride quality.
The proposed works for 2013-14 include reconstruction and widening of the pavement, provision of extensive guardrail to protect traffic from roadside fixed objects (trees)and stormwater drainage. Sealed shoulders and improved drainage will also be constructed to increase safety for cyclists.
Total cost of proposed project is $7,350,000 |
