The NSW Government is investing $11.5 million to improve safety on a six-kilometre stretch of the Oxley Highway about 50 kilometres west of Gunnedah.
Work will start next Monday, September 16 and includes:
- widening and rehabilitating the pavement
- widening nine culverts and
- sealing the section of road.
Changed traffic conditions while the work takes place include single lane closures and reduced speed limits of 40 km/h through the work zone.
“This pavement improvement work will deliver a stronger and more resilient road surface, safer turning at the Oxley Highway intersection with Goolhi Road and reduced ongoing maintenance costs.” said Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Jenny Aitchison.
“These improvements will benefit all road users, including drivers of heavy vehicles who regularly use this route hauling freight across NSW.”
Work will be carried out over the next eight months on weekdays between 7am and 6pm and on Saturdays between 8am and 1pm, weather permitting.
Motorists should follow the directions of all traffic control and all signs, including reduced speed limits. For the latest traffic information, visit www.livetraffic.com, download the Live Traffic app or call the Transport Management Centre on 132 701.
