Stony Chute Road Safety Roadworks

Council is undertaking roadworks along seven sections of Stony Chute Road.

These road safety works are proudly funded by the NSW Government under the NSW Safer Roads Program, which provides funding for road safety treatments where there are clusters of casualty crashes on regional roads.

The works will begin in early September and are likely to take five or six months to complete.

The roadworks will be conducted at seven different sites along Stony Chute Road (see maps to your right). The first site to undergo construction will be directly east and west of Goolmangar Creek, being Site 23-1.

The work taking place on each site will vary depending on identified safety issues. Following is a list of road safety treatments that will be applied as appropriate to the safety needs at each location:

• Road widening or changing the road shape.
• Resurfacing or ‘heavy patching’ of the road.
• Road drainage improvements such as kerb and guttering, pipe culvert and headwall replacement/extension and table drain maintenance.
• Road delineation works including line marking and guide posting.
• Road advisory signage including curve advisory markers and speed advisory signs.
• Sight distance improvements including vegetation removal and embankment trimming.

Works are expected to take about five to six months to complete, subject to weather. Daily work hours will mostly be between 7am and 4pm weekdays although there may be some weekend work.

Council will have traffic control operators in place during working hours, with portable traffic lights in place at times depending on the daily or weekly construction methodology and scope.

We apologise for the disruptions you may experience whilst we upgrade Stony Chute Road. Please be patient and commute through roadworks sites at low speed, obey traffic control instructions and drive carefully.
