Orange City Council will soon start work on an upgrade of a rural section of Forest Road in the Spring Terrace area.
The upgrade is in the stretch of road between Orchard Road and Kelly Lane in Spring Terrace.
The 1 km long project will involve widening the current road bitumen seal from approximately 7 metres to 9 metres, with a half metre unsealed shoulder on each side.
As part of the upgrade, the existing foundations of the road will be stabilised with a cement-based hardener and road will be overlayed with approximately 25 cm of road gravel, increasing the strength of the road, before a bitumen gravel top surface is added.
The road work is expected to start early April and take approximately 5 weeks.
This project is co-funded with the NSW State Government under the Regional Roads REPAIR program.
