Jiggi Road - Flood Restoration Works Update

Council will be completing works to improve road conditions and associated safety for Jiggi Road during November 2022 and February 2023, subject to weather, contractor, and material availability.

These works were scheduled and started earlier this year, however delayed due to weather. Scope of works have been reviewed to ensure damages due to heavy rainfall are remediated. Single lane traffic control will be in place during the works period.

Works will apply to six sections of Jiggi Road only, that have been identified as significantly impacted by the February 2022 natural disaster, based on pre and post disaster assessments. Funding has been secured through Transport for NSW and is allocated to repair damage sustained during the February 2022 natural disaster only. Additional works required and subsequent funding for Jiggi Road are being reviewed.

A map of the allocated sections is attached below. Please note, only temporary works will be completed for Patch 5 at this time. Due to the scope of works required, this section is scheduled for reconstruction at a later date.

What do the roadworks involve?

• Road surface: Improve the surface of the road in specified sections.
• Signs and line marking: Line marking and guideposts.
• Vegetation management: Manage roadside vegetation to remove obstacles, improve sight distances, and clearances for signage.
• Drainage maintenance: Re-excavate open drains and remove flood sediment as required. Minor drainage works will be completed prior to pavement works commencing.
• Driveway adjustment: Adjust access to driveways affected by the wider road footprint as required.

Road users are advised to follow signage and expect delays as these works are completed.
