Council is continuing its commitment to ensure the quality of our local road network, with important upgrade works taking place on The Ridgeway at Lisarow, between Macdonalds Road and Tapley Road.

Designed to enhance the safety of this popular route, this project will see substantial earthworks to accommodate a new road alignment and width, construction of street drainage, kerb and gutter, and a new road pavement.

The project will also include the installation of guardrail, signage and  line marking.

With significant realignment and construction works required, it is anticipated this section of road will operate as a single-lane stretch for approximately six months, with the full extent of works expected to take around 15 months to complete.

Starting early May, single-lane traffic will be operated by interim traffic signals to ensure the safety of workers on-site and motorists as they travel through the area. Council is encouraging motorists to allow some extra travel time – particularly during peak periods – and take extra care when travelling in this area.

This project is part of a $62 million investment from Council into roads and drainage Capital Works across the region, with more than 500 projects carried out this financial year, and an even greater number anticipated in the year ahead.
