Asphalt works on Old Bar Road planned for 29 August - 10 September were complete a few days ahead of schedule. The works are part of a multi-stage plan to improve this important connector route.

The next stage of road widening and drainage extension works from approximately 300m west of Metz Road have now begun.

Motorists should allow additional travel time and observe revised traffic conditions and speed limits.  

The final stage of asphalt works are planned for 17 - 31 October, weather permitting. This work will be followed by line marking, guardrails, signage and treatment of the roadside slopes.

The project is expected to be complete by late November. All traffic restrictions will be removed at this time.

“These important upgrades will make Old Bar Road smoother and safer and improve its service life,” said Council’s Manager of Transport and Engineering, Peter Gesling.

“We thank the community for their patience while these critical works are undertaken,” he said.

This project is funded by the NSW Government in association with Council as part of a $100 million road upgrade package.
