Road is worn out as it has not been re-sheeted for 25+ years - only general maintenance has been carried outAdd material to resheet - rebuild road to bring it up to an acceptable standardTotal cost of proposed project is $255,483
This section of Devonport Road is in poor condition, with areas of cracking and deformation. It is on an important regional freight route used by heavy vehciles including B-doubles, so needs to be suitable for this task. There are some drainage issues which have possibly contributed to the failure of the road pavement.Excavate and replace pavement, install suitable subsoil and surface drainage including kerbs, seal with asphalt.Total cost of proposed project is $379,324
This intersection is in poor condition and requires frequent pothole repairs. Turning buses create stress on the existing seal, causing deterioration. Existing kerbs are in poor condition.Excavate and replace pavement, replace kerbs and associated pedestrian ramps, seal with asphalt and install line marking
Increased pastoral cattle haulage and increased oil and gas exploration activities have degraded the unsealed gravel. In some areas the sub-grade is exposed and creating large bull dust holes.Gravel resheet the section between chainage 46.1 to 51.8 kilometres.
The Calvert road is extensively used by the heavy vehicles in the support of pastoral proprieties, mining and aboriginal communities and is used as an alternative route to QLD. With the increase in trucks and the tourists, the gate is either left open or damaged by vehicles not stopping and causing damage to the vehicles and gates. The pastoral station are constantly repairing the gate and re-mustering cattle in the wrong paddocks. The removal of the gate and construction of grid will improve accessibility and reduce the risk of accidents.Remove the existing gate and construction of grid.
The road is narrow with deformed pavement and deficient ride quality.Rehabilitation of existing pavement including shape correction and sealing.
Unsealed road which is classified as Road Train route requires upgrading including safety improvements at causewaysGravel Re sheeting works to be carried out to improve ride quality along route
The road has poor alignment and poor sight distance around curve. Gravel banks to the outside of curve affecting super elevation.Construct new pavement on improved alignment to meet current design guidelines. Tree removal, drainage improvements. Improve sight distance on approach and around curve. Road classification currently sits at road train status.
