Allow extra travel time: works to start on Avocet Drive

Motorists and other road users are asked to plan their trips and allow extra travel time when road works get underway on the eastern end of Avocet Drive in Estella early next week.

The road stabilisation and reseal works on the section between Franklin Drive and the Boorooma Street roundabout are expected to start on Monday 6 March and finish a week later, weather permitting.

Avocet Drive will remain open during the works, with traffic control measures in place from 7am to 6pm.

Manager Transport & Traffic Jamie Harwood said Council appreciates the continuing patience the community has shown during the various road rehabilitation and resealing works being carried out across the Local Government Area.

“We just finished the in-situ stabilisation, granular overlay and widening of Mitchell Road between Inglewood and Brunskill roads earlier this week and I think anyone who drives along that section will be pleased with the results,” Mr Harwood said.

“This week we also had a crew carrying out road maintenance works on a stretch of Huthwaite Street which deteriorated rapidly due to the wet weather events in the lead up to Christmas.”

Road stabilisation works on a stretch of Bourke Street between Holbrook Road and Red Hill Road is expected to finish on Thursday 9 March.

The program of works is being funded by Council, the Australian Government through its Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program as well as its Roads to Recovery Program, and the NSW Government Regional and Local Roads Repair Program.
