Following an onsite visit today by the Central Highlands Mayor and the Minister for Infrastructure and Liberal Member for Lyons Rene Hidding, the residents and visitors to the Central Highlands will benefit by an immediate intersection upgrade and repairs of the 4kms sealed section between the Lyell Highway and Bronte Park.
These works are preliminary and necessary due to the degraded nature of the road following the heavy rains over the past year.
Tenders will be let this winter for a full rehabilitation and a new seal of the 4kms sealed section during Spring 2017.
This announcement follows on from the major project underway on the Highland Lake Road that will see the sealing of the full length of the road.
