Council's major program of civil works for the rehabilitation and renewal of several key connector and heavily used roads, as well as numerous suburban roads, continues to roll out across the Wagga Wagga Local Government Area (LGA).
The program is being delivered in several separate packages by contractors and Council's infrastructure and civil works teams.
Director Infrastructure Services Henry Pavitt said the contractors started works on some of these packages in late 2024, completing the rehabilitation and seal ing of sections of Vincent Road, Kyeamba Avenue, and Featherwood Road in December.
"Now that the Christmas – New Year break is over, they've fired up the machines and have hit the ground rolling," Mr Pavitt said.
"It is a significant program of works, with quite a few key roads which see a lot of commuter and commercial traffic on the list to be stabilised and rehabilitated.
"This includes multiple sections of Bakers Lane between Dandaloo Road and Matilda Crescent at Governor's Hill.
"The wetter than usual winters, springs and even summers that we've experienced in recent years, along with flooding from the big storms of 2022, took their toll on this stretch of road, leaving it a patchwork quilt of pothole repairs.
"It will undergo road stabilisation and rehabilitation works to improve and strengthen the pavement, providing a safer and smoother surface for all road users."
The Bakers Lane rehabilitation works are expected to start on Tuesday 14 January and take two days to complete, weather permitting.
Contractors resumed their works program on Wednesday 8 January with the rehabilitation and new sprayed seal on the stretch of Main Street in Lake Albert, between Lake Street and Ontario Drive.
During January, contractors are also scheduled to carry out pavement rehabilitation works on a section of Gregadoo Road (between Tallowood Crescent and Redbank Road), Ziegler Avenue (from Coolibah Street to Berala Street), the intersection of Graham Avenue and Gumly Road, and multiple sections of Oura Road between the Wagga and Bidgee Pony Club grounds and Stapylton Place.
The works are taking place between 7am and 5pm, and the roads will be under traffic control.
Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, follow instructions from traffic control and obey speed limits.
Other infrastructure and civil works slated for the first part of 2025 include the bridge rectification and road rehabilitation works on Ivan Jack Drive in the CBD, and a new package of rehabilitation works at several locations across the city and its suburbs.
