Deterioration/Failure of road surfaceSingle coat seal
Existing gravel road vulnerable to severe corrugation particularly around curve. Poor ride-ability and loss of traction causing vehicles to run off the road.Construct new gravel base course and Bitumen seal the first two kilometres of the roadway
Gartrell Street has poor pavement condition, a function of the poor initial construction and poor drainage, high traffic volumes and high heavy vehicle usage. The current carriageway width of this critical freight route is relatively narrow (6.4m) and with each significant rainfall event the road is at least partly inundated, further deteriorating the pavement, scouring the roadside swales (no kerb currently), and presenting a hazard to all road users (heavy and light vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians). A safer road environment is required through widening the pavement to include cycling lanes and improved lighting, and the kerb and gutter in combination with the separately Council-funded new underground drainage will protect the pavement from premature failure ans will also provide a minimum service level against flooding over the road.The work proposed includes pavement rehabilitation/reconstruction the entire length of the identified section, widening from a 6.4m to a 10m carriageway. The existing rubble footpath will be upgraded to a shared use path to separate the pedestrian and cyclist traffic from the vehicular, improving the safety of these sensitive road users and to encourage active travel. Kerb and gutter will be constructed to assist in the flood management for this area and to prevent edge break and scour issues. Additionally, water sensitive urban design will be incorporated by including tree pits along the northern side to capture and treat runoff. To improve the safety of the environment for all road users, lighting will be added/upgraded to LEDs which will provide a brighter and wider illumination of the road.Total cost of proposed project is $810,000
Springs Road is an important link in the regional road network and is a Principal Community Access Route and Local Tourist Route. The current road is too narrow, requires realignment and does not have sealed shoulders. The road serves as a public transport route with bus stops along its length. The sealed shoulder will provide the safe operation of the road by providing greater sealed width for vehicles and cyclists due to the road's substandard and inconsistent geometry. There are a number of significant trees and native vegetation within the clear zone that require treatment as part of the project.Stage 2 (550m) of Springs Road involves widening traffic lanes and sealing the shoulder (3.3m for traffic lanes and 1.5m sealed shoulder). The project will provide improvements to delineation and lighting of the existing junctions with Waterford Avenue and Burnbank Way. The road upgrade will also include the installation of guard fence including 5 box-beam sites to provide protection within the clear zone of significant trees and also fill embankments.Total cost of proposed project is $975,000
Failing pavement and narrow seal width not adequately catering for heavy vehicles and road user safety.Road rehabilitation and widening of existing sealed road pavement, to overcome roughness and improve driver safety.
Naracoorte Lucindale Council is seeking to establish the Old Caves Road as the primary link between Naracoorte township and Naracoorte Caves, South Australia’s only World Heritage Site and a major regional visitor attraction. Works will involve the reconstruction of Old Caves Road to a suitable standard for tourism traffic. This link will be complemented with walking and bike trails, as well as an interpretative trail. The current pavement is failing with large areas of longitudinal cracking, pavement deformity and potholing. This section of road has a number of low lying areas that during rain events can become covered with water and impassable for tourist traffic. During the winter period, there are issues with water laying on the sides of roadway creating a danger to the travelling public. The seal is narrow and becoming unsatisfactory for tourist and community traffic.Works will include both vertical and horizontal realignment to meet Australian Standards for a 100km/h road. This project will consist of a road reconstruction with the finished level of the new pavement up to 500mm higher than existing. The new pavement will be up to 4m wider than existing, making it suitable for coach traffic with tourists.The road pavement will be constructed to a width of 9.2m and a depth of 300mm. This will comprise 2 x 3.1m lanes with a 0.5m sealed shoulder and 1.0m unsealed shoulder. Construction will be done in two layers comprising of a 150mm sub base and a 150 mm base course of locally sourced 70mm minus crushed limestone rubble. The road surface will be sealed using prime with a 10mm crumbed rubber initial seal to match existing surface of previously constructed road.Total cost of proposed project is $1,235,000
The existing Pauls Drive crossing along this section of Dry Creek is substantially undersized with respect to regular flow-rates at this site. The upstream creek catchment is considerable and includes a combined large-size urban residential area within this northern region of metropolitan Adelaide consisting of Madbury, Ridgehaven, Banksia Park and Golden Grove. It is the only road crossing at Dry Creek, which services this predominately residential precinct and is also part of a number of public transport bus routes for the north-eastern Adelaide O-Bahn Bus network. At present, flood levels exceed the maximum height of the culvert opening every year on average, resulting in closure of the road to local traffic due to this hazard to the community. There has been at least one instance reported in either electronic or printed media of a driver needing to be rescued by Emergency Services (CFS, MFS or SES) from a vehicle trapped in the floodwaters. To address this combined local area traffic management (LA TM), road safety & flooding issue, the City of Salisbury will replace and widen a flood prone bridge with a new culvert structure to reduce flood hazard risk at this site.The work proposed includes the replacement of the existing structure with a large precast arch bridge structure, that will accommodate a significantly greater flow capacity. Provision has also been made for the Dry Creek linear trail to be connected beneath the roadway, thereby removing the current need for trail users to leave the linear reserve and cross against the traffic along Pauls Drive.
This major culvert upgrade project will include a wider bridge deck (approx. 13.20 metres in total width) for local area cycling/pedestrian connectivity & uninterrupted vehicular 2-way traffic flow along this section of Pauls Drive consisting of an 8.80 metre wide roadway from kerb to kerb with 1.0 metre wide sealed shoulders, 3.10 metre wide traffic lanes and a 0.60 metre wide painted/raised median for separating & delineating regular 2-way traffic flow. The reinstatement of 60.0 metres of Pauls Drive with a 400.0 mm pavement depth for a typical local roadway within a residential area with an AADT Volume of approximately less than 2000 vehicles per day (vpd). New kerbing, and also guard-railing as a roadside barrier treatment for 2-way traffic flow; and in the event that the linear park trails along Dry Creek at Valley View becomes impassable due to flooding and as an alternative route for a safe and continuous accessible path of travel (CAPT) for both cyclists & pedestrians, a 1.70 metre wide footpath between the guard-railing and safety fencing.Total cost of proposed project is $2,150,000
The frequency of pavement failures, and the deterioration of the physical condition of the road surface has reached a state of disrepair that directly impacts upon the road's ability to meet its commuter purpose, provide a key public transport route, safely carry high volumes of cyclists and deters visitors from accessing the main street. The road requires a full pavement reconstruction including a replacement of the road surface, which currently comprises of segmental concrete pavers. The failures are causing surface roughness resulting in poor ride quality for vehicles and cyclists as well as increased wear and tear on vehicles of all classes due to the heavy rutting. The road is a critical commuter to and from the CBD during peak times, in addition to community access and a tourism route vital to economic sustainability of the area. The road is in a 40km hour zone and has a large amount of interaction between commuter vehicles, tourism traffic, public transport buses, cyclists and pedestrians.The work proposed includes reconstructing a 250m section (Stage 1) of King William Road with a pavement that is fit for purpose and suitable to maximise the useful life and overall management of the asset. The existing road surface is segmental concrete pavers, the reconstruction of a more robust road profile will greatly reduce vehicle road noise. The new road will provide a distinctive and smooth surface for all users. The reconstruction of the existing roadway will provide a catalyst to the redesign of the main street precinct, including opportunities to enhance the presentation, safety and appeal of the main street with the road replacement works. New kerb profile, new footpath paving and street furniture will be replaced although council are not requesting funds to cover the cost of this part of the project.Total cost of proposed project is $3,000,000
The current road is unsealed and dust and loose material are problematic making the road unsafe. There is a lack of good rubble on the surface as the wear rate is high due to traffic volume. As a result the surface is very rough and potholed and it suffers from heavy rutting. There is a history of accidents on the road and upgrading the strength and durability of the pavement surface, improving the geometry and dimensions of the road will ultimately help to minimise the risk of further accidents occurring. The road is a social, tourist and freight route for the region. Previously, Stage 1, 2 & 3 of this project was RTR funded as part of Special Local Roads Projects.The work proposed includes recreating the base on the 7 kilometre section with introduced crushed limestone rubble. Trees will be trimmed and drainage created (where required). The road will then be sealed using a 14/7mm treatment with C170 binder. This pavement will be suitable for long term heavy vehicle loading. The overall carriageway width will be increased to 14m.Total cost of proposed project is $910,000
The current alignment is a two lane non-divided road, with on road parking on the Northern Side and open drain on the Southern Side. The road is designated as a local distributor which acts as a main thoroughfare between Adelaide Airport, Harbourtown, and Adelaide Shores the beach and Western suburbs. There are currently no dedicated turning lanes into the sporting complex and numerous boats and caravans use the road to access nearby tourist and recreational facilities. These boats and caravans are wider than normal and are less manoueuvrable causing safety concerns. The existing road is classified as a major collector road at its upper bound. It is currently rapidly moving towards become a distributor road with traffic counts (2 day weekday) of over 5000 vehicles requiring immediate improvement.The work proposed includes providing a divided road, with protected turning lanes, dedicated parking lane, two on road cycle lanes, water sensitive urban design options for stormwater drainage, upgraded landscaping and an off road shared use path. Work includes separating the opposing lanes with a wide median allowing protected turning facilities to the sports field car parks while allowing large recreational vehicles, boats and trucks to safely navigate the area.
Stage 2 of 2 will mainly comprise of the STREETSCAPE Component of the project, which includes all lighting, irrigation and landscaping over the 1.2kms length. Refer to project number 59 for Stage 1.
City of Charles Sturt acknowledge the requirement for the contractor to be accredited in the Federal WHS accreditation scheme and is a mandatory requirement of council’s tender process.Total cost of proposed project is $5,700,000
