Safety improvements for a section of the Newell Highway in Finley, New South Wales, are set to begin.
Commencing on Friday 16 May between Ulupna and Wollamai streets, the improvements represent the first $2.1 million phase of a $10 million reconstruction program planned for the highway between Tongs and Atkinson streets.
Work will involve resurfacing the travel lanes to make a smoother, safer road. This will be carried out in a mixture of day and night shifts to limit impacts to the community.
“The work will include road resurfacing to deliver a smoother and safer highway and relocating the pedestrian crossing further away from the intersection of the Newell Highway with Pinnuck Street to improve safety,” said Transport for NSW Regional Director South, Cassandra Ffrench.
“In response to community feedback, the existing raised medians will be removed, and parking reinstated in its place.”
The project is expected to take up to two weeks, weather permitting.
Berrigan Shire Council will then continue the project from early June, relocating the pedestrian crossing from near Pinnuck Street intersection to 50 metres further north along Murray Street to improve safety.
In other news, FBT Transwest Managing Director, Cameron Dunn, has been recognised for his passion and dedication to safety.
