A program of works to remediate seven roads severely damaged in the 2022 natural disasters between Sussex Inlet and Morton will begin in April.
Contractor, Roadworx, will complete the major repairs on these regional thoroughfares.
Beorn Hulme, Senior Project Manager, said that this was welcome news for people who live, work and visit the southern part of the Shoalhaven.
"Roadworx has more than 20 years' experience fixing regional, local government roads so we're excited to see them hit the ground in the southern part of the region and deliver on these damaged roads," Mr Hulme said.
"This is a multi-million-dollar package funded by the state and federal governments predominantly through natural disaster funding," he said.
Crews will start at Sussex Inlet in April and work their way south towards Morton. Roads in the package include:
- Sussex Inlet Road, Sussex Inlet
- Bendalong Road and Inyadda Drive, Bendalong
- Lake Conjola Entrance Road, Lake Conjola
- Fishermans Paradise Road, Fishermans Paradise
- Woodstock Road and Woodburn Road, Morton
All sites are due for completion by mid-year, weather depending. A comprehensive traffic plan will be in place to minimise delays to residents during operations.
Notification will be provided to the community before works begin, with electronic boards, and project updates provided throughout the project. Residents can subscribe to road project pages for the latest updates.
