The gravel on the road has worn away and is now very thin making it unsafe for traffic.Lay gravel on this road so that it is 150mm thick for 4km.Total cost of proposed project is $108,728
Severe deterioration of bitumen road surfaceFull pavement reconstruction of dual lane bitumen road including drainage upgrade.Total cost of proposed project is $860,000
The road is located south of the Finke Road 300km SE of Alice Springs, and links with the Mt Dare/Oodnadata road through to South Australia. It is a popular road for the 4WD tourist industry.
The road section traverses winding sand dune and Coglin Creek flood plain country, with numerous creek crossings, and worn formation. Drainage is poor with the pavement having severe corrugations, loss of formation, scours and washouts and hence developing loose surface. In wet weather ponding water closes the road for short periods. The road has high usage from aboriginal communities, pastoralists, mining exploration and expanding 4WD tourism. A significant volume of traffic is triple road trains for cattle haulage, and mining exploration.Reform and regravel the alignment over 10 kilometres between chainage 0.0 and 34 kilometres.
The road surface is affected with crocodile and environmental crackingsThe proposed treatment includes rectification of the asphalt fatigue area with heavy patching treatment first. Then the whole section will be treated with hot mix asphalt with interlayer seal. Length is 180m and average width is 12.8m.

This roadway is classed as an essential service road as it functionally links the airport to the community of Ramingining. This roadway currently has a gravel pavement and although the formation is generally good, the road surface readily declines with severe corrugations forming. Our maintenance grading program allows for quarterly pavement grades yet this barely keeps the surface in reasonable comfort and safety condition. Sealing of this roadway would markedly improve its all season performance and safety.Gravel re-sheet and 2 coat sealTotal cost of proposed project is $1,035,515
