Kicking off in January 2024, Snowy Monaro Regional Council is today announcing the first set of roads scheduled for resealing under the 2024 urban road resealing program.
Adaminaby, Berridale, Bombala, Cooma, Jindabyne and Old Adaminaby are first up on the schedule for next year, with work on more than two dozen roads in these towns and villages getting underway from late January 2024.
Residents and businesses located on roads scheduled for resealing will receive a letter from Council's contractor two weeks prior to the commencement of works.
It is critical that businesses and residents located on roads scheduled for resealing organise alternative parking for the time that work is underway.
Any vehicles remaining on the street during resealing will have a serious negative effect on the quality of the completed road surface.
These scheduled operations are part of Council's ongoing investment into our region's road network. Snowy Monaro Regional Council is responsible for maintaining 2,647km of roads across the region, the third highest figure for any Council in NSW.
Snowy Monaro Regional Council invests millions of dollars every year into our region's road network. These works are ratepayer funds in action, bolstered by the generous grant funding support of the NSW and Australian Governments.
Council is investing the majority of additional funds generated by the 2023/24 special rate variation directly into our region's roads. This substantial commitment of finance and labour means safer, faster journeys for local residents and businesses.
While resealing is scheduled in advance, there may be delays or other changes to planned works. All roadwork is subject to weather, with wet or stormy conditions a common cause for delays. Urgent maintenance work can require teams and equipment to temporarily pause resealing projects, in order to address these higher priority assignments as they arise.
