Road works are about to start on Old Bar Road, in New South Wales’ Mid North Coast region, as part of a multi-stage State Government plan to improve an important connector route.
The plan is a part of a $100 million road upgrade package, funded by the New South Wales Government in association with Midcoast Council.
The roadworks will improve the pavement condition for 1.7km of road from Redbank Cemetery to Metz Road and add dedicated right turn lanes into Redbank and Half Chain Roads.
MidCoast Council contractors are scheduled to start work on 14 March 2022, weather permitting.
Traffic controls will be in place, androad users should expect delays and allow some extra time during construction.
Council’s Manager of Projects and Engineering, Rhett Pattison, said, “We are working to make the road smoother and safer and improve its service life.
“We thank road users for their patience as we get this work done as soon as possible, weather permitting.”
As part of the project, the Council has already completed works on Warwiba Road to Berady Lane, the intersection of Saltwater Road, and the section between the Old Bar Motorcycle Club and Redbank Cemetery.
