MidCoast Council’s contractors are waiting for a break in the weather to begin a six-month project on The Lakes Way at South Forster.
The work includes reshaping the road between Tea Tree Road and Sweet Pea Road and constructing a culvert to allow for the diversion of Dunns Creek.
A roundabout will be constructed on The Lakes Way, connecting the new Palm Lake Resort and the future extension of The Southern Parkway.
Council’s contractors are doing the work in phases to allow for two lanes to remain open as often as possible during the works. Road users should take care when travelling through the worksite, obey all traffic directions and speed limits, and be ready for changed traffic conditions.
The roadwork is due to begin in February, but wet weather may cause delays. Work to relocate water mains and electrical poles and wires is already complete.
