***These works are now complete and Uralba Street, between Diadem and Brewster Streets has re-opened. See further information under 'Community Updates' below *****

Council plans to reconstruct a section of Uralba Street between Diadem and Brewster Streets. The roadworks are expected to take 5-6 weeks to complete (subject to fine weather) and are planned to commence in late June/early July 2021.

These planned roadworks are jointly funded by the Australian Government in Association with the NSW Government and Lismore City Council under the Fixing Local Roads Program. This program provides funding to Councils to assist in reducing the local roads maintenance backlog.

The works are to be completed in two phases. This will ensure Coles supermarket is not negatively impacted by the works and can receive trucks and goods during the construction period. These phases are shown in the map on the right hand side of this project page.

Local access to residences will also be maintained by Council during the construction period.

The roadworks will include the rehabilitation and resurfacing of the current road which will then be finished with an asphalt seal. Asphalt has been chosen due to its durability, longevity and the speed at which it can be placed.

Our hours of work will generally be 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday and may also include some Saturdays to complete the work efficiently.

A temporary road closure and detours will be in place as we work along Uralba Street, between Diadem and Brewster Streets.

    Works are now completed on Uralba Street road pavement rehabilitation, jointly funded by the NSW Fixing Local Roads and Roads to Recovery Programs.

    Council undertook roadworks and road treatments to improve and rehabilitate the pavement quality on Uralba Street between Diadem and Brewster Streets.

    We were also aiming to improve pavement life cycle and traffic ride, whilst conducting additional activities such as vegetation management and beautification activities.

    In the interest of beneficial reuse and sustainability, Council undertook the cost-effective solution of recycling the historical road in the form of insitu stabilisation.

    The aim of recycling the road was to provide a quality, long-life solution that maximises the re-use of existing materials.l This significantly lowers the carbon footprint when compared to other construction methodologies.

    Furthermore, Council minimized the quantity of materials transported in and out of site by employing this technique.

    Following completion of roadworks, Council rehabilitated adjoining damaged surfaces and reinstated concrete kerbing and kerb ramps, driveway lips and footpath/ nature strips

    Lismore City Council Civic Services Department delivered the project within budget and delivered under the projected program time.

    Productivity was enhanced due to fine weather and the ability to close this section of Uralba Street to daily traffic.

    A photo of Uralba Street before and after can be viewed in the documents section of this project page.
