An 800m section of the Guyra Tingha Road along Moredun Flat and a 1.1km section at Wandsworth received extensive road base rehabilitation, along with increased width and a bitumen seal.
The 800m section along Moredun Flat, funded by the RMS Repair Program, was badly degraded by increased heavy traffic volumes and flood waters. Treatments to the sub-base and base were completed, as well as significant improvements to the roadside drainage system.
The 1.1km section of road near Loxton Road, Wandsworth, funded by the RMS Black Spot Program, was cement stabilised using state-of-the-art equipment before being sealed.
Armidale Regional Council Director of Engineering, Ralf Stoeckeler, said that the works will make this stretch of road significantly safer for road users.
“The Guyra Tingha Road is an important East-West corridor, and prolonged poor weather conditions and increased traffic had impacted on the quality and safety of the road.
“The completion of this extensive construction work facilitates greater volumes of traffic, particularly heavy vehicles, and will mitigate future deterioration.”
