CREWS have recently laid a final layer of crushed rock on Delacombe Way, forming a 300-millimetre-thick foundation for the sealing of the road.<\/p>\n
The $478,000 Delacombe Way project, funded by the Victorian Government as part of the AgriLinks Upgrade Program, includes earthworks, drainage works and reconstruction of 720 metres of road in Willaura.<\/p>\n
Ararat Rural Council CEO, Tim Harrison, said the Victorian Government funding support ensures Council can continue to deliver better roads.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe works started from Main Street in Willaura through to Mortlake Ararat Road, reconstructing around 720-metre section of a heavily used road for local agricultural freight,\u201d Dr Harrison said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe state of our rural road network has a direct impact on freight efficiency and road safety, and this starts with getting the foundation of the pavement right, otherwise known as a subgrade.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough a slow process, Millers Civil Construction has prepared a solid subgrade consisting of several layers of cement lime and thick crushed rock, which will be sealed at some stage next week.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlong with previous drainage improvements, this road upgrade will further support heavy industry who are travelling from the farm gate through the south corridor.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil has a massive responsibility for maintaining a large rural road network. It\u2019s only with this extra government funding that vital road improvements, such as Delacombe Way, that support our local businesses and farmers are made possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
A final seal of bitumen will be laid on Delacombe Way in six months\u2019 time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
