Deteriorating pavement and getting beyond serviceable lifePulverise and prepare existing pavement, re-sheet with crushed rock, compact and seal.
Unsealed road is subject to flood damage. Not suitable for tourist traffic.Upgrade to sealed standard
This section of Sedan Dip Road is 2km of 6m wide unsealed black soil road. Sedan Dip Road is one the shire's arterial roads (linking the McKinlay and Cloncurry Shires)and is mainly subject to heavy vehicle movement (livestock industry)as well as tourist traffic. The unsealed sections of this road consistently requires extensive maintenance to maintain a safe trafficable status and is continually subject to restoration works following wet weather events (often impassable for at least 2 weeks at a time). Sealing segments of this road greatly enhances this road's all-weather status limiting disruptions to travelling public and pastoral industry traffic(heavy vehicle livestock movement/access).Formation and seal of 2km of 6m wide unsealed black soil road. The starting point for the 2km section of works on Sedan Dip Road to be approximately 32km of the Link Road intersection with Sedan Dip Road. Works to include re-instatement of shoulders, road markers, grid replacement (where necessary) and appropriate signage.Total cost of proposed project is $500,000
Sections of road are unsealed and do not cater for heavy traffic along this major arterial road.Upgrade to sealed standardTotal cost of proposed project is $1,729,646
Movements of heavy vehicles including earthmoving equipment has resulted in ongoing maintenance issues where significant increase in maintenance grading has been required to maintain a suitable surface. Existing seal (0 straight line kilometres to 0.216 straight line kilometres) deteriorated. Dust has been an ongoing problem affecting nearby residents with these increased traffic movements. Two creek crossings present access issues in wet weather to nearby residents and heavy vehicles that frequent the road dailyThe 1216m proposed for sealing will be reconstructed by way of consolidating existing formation, gravel resheeting, waterbinding and finished with seal, with kerbing works to first 216m where existing kerbing and seal exist. Two creek crossings will be concreted to allow/improve all weather access.
Access to gorge is limited by poor standard of existing road and lack of directional signage for tourists.Further upgrade formation to gravel road (stage 2), install additional directional and safety signageTotal cost of proposed project is $150,000
Seal width too narrow for heavy traffic on road through industrial area of QuilpieIncrease sealed width to 8metres
Road shoulders currently wash out each year presenting unsafe drop off on both sides of roads. Many vehicles, including caravans, traverse this road.Reconstruction and widening of shoulders to existing seal, including kerbing works and rock armour along both shoulders
