A popular road in San Remo has been given a multi-million dollar makeover.

The finishing touches are being put on major road and drainage works in Goorama Avenue with the conclusion of the fifth and final stage of the $6 million project getting close.

Dating back to 2012, the five-stage upgrade has seen a new road surface, intersection upgrades, and the installation of traffic calming devices – significantly improving community safety on this important local thoroughfare.

The final stage, valued at more than $1.1 million, involved significant road reconstruction work including street drainage, kerb and guttering, and footpath improvement works.

The upgraded drainage system will alleviate previous flooding issues, while the new road surface will provide a smooth drive for motorists in this popular area.

With two schools also located on Goorama Avenue, the upgrade will reduce congestion and provide better access for motorists during busy school pick-up and drop-off times.

The investment and overall scope of the project signifies Council’s commitment to delivering a sustainable, high-quality road network through upgrade and improvement works.

Crews will also continue to carry out road maintenance through ongoing resealing and renewal programs – with almost 59 kilometres of road identified for resealing this year – valued at more than $5 million.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their patience while these important works were carried out. We are looking forward to delivering more vital infrastructure improvement works in 2017.

We have a large program of works scheduled and have set up an online mapping system so you can see the location, description and timeline of road works in your suburb.
