Clarence Valley Council’s Natural Disaster Repair Works Program is in full swing with significant progress made on the Local and Regional components of the program.
This week works commenced on the stabilisation and patching of Iluka Road, as well as heavy patching of Geregarow Road near Coutts Crossing.
The 7000 square metres of works to take place along the length of Iluka Road over the next three to four weeks is part of the $13.2 million Regional Roads Sealed Pavement Works program.
The 5700 square metres of works along Geragarow Road is part of the $35 million Local Roads Sealed Pavement Works program.
Both programs are part of the estimated $92.2 million of works in the Clarence Valley to be funded by the Federal and State government’s Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) Essential Public Asset Reconstruction Works (EPARW) program over the next two years.
The Iluka Road works started from opposite Iluka Golf Club and will proceed towards the Pacific Highway. The works have commenced ahead of schedule due to the completion of rehabilitation works at Eight Mile Lane and Wooli Road. Works are also set to commence, on schedule, along Clarence Way this month.
Geregarow Road is one of 61 flood-damaged roads set to receive repairs under the Local Roads component of works.
While the program is majority funded by the DRFA EPARW, funds have also been contributed by the Federal funded Roads to Recovery Program, the NSW Regional and Local Roads Repair Program, and Council.
Traffic control will be in place for both projects and short delays can be expected. For the latest traffic updates please visit livetraffic.com
