Fewer potholes, fewer repairs, and a road built to handle heavy traffic. That’s the aim of a major rebuild of Cranbrook Road starting Monday 16 November.
The busy industrial road carries plenty of heavy vehicles and its current surface is showing the strain. Eurobodalla Council will rebuild the first 165 metres of road, between the Princes Highway and Sharon road before contractors lay a new asphalt surface.
Council’s acting director of infrastructure Tom Franzen says the rebuild – with stronger base and asphalt top – will last longer and with less maintenance.
“To keep disruption to business and their customers to a minimum, most work will take place between 6pm and 3am during the week. Some weekend work may also be needed,” Mr Franzen says.
“We expect the upgrade to take three to four weeks, with the road open under traffic control so businesses are still accessible. On-street parking at the site will not be available during the work. The work will be noisy at times and motorists should allow a little extra travel time.”
