WORK is nearly complete on the upgrade to Chatsworth Lake Bolac Road, with line markings being laid on the road surface this week.<\/p>\n
The project involves reconstructing a 1475 metre section of the road starting 100 metres northeast of Karmala Lane and ending at the narrow seal on Chatsworth Lake Bolac Road.<\/p>\n
Ararat Rural City Council CEO Dr Tim Harrison said Chatsworth Lake Bolac Road is an important local road and paramount to the movement of critical product from the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cChatsworth Lake Bolac road is a popular route for the community, being a key linkage road to Mortlake-Ararat Road,\u201d Dr Harrison said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe existing road is failing with deep ruts and heavy vehicle use puts the road under further strain.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know that our roads will only be as strong as the base they\u2019re built on, which is why crews treated areas of soft ground with cement and lime stabilisation,\u201d Dr Harrison said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis upgraded section will improve safety for all road uses by accommodating heavy vehicles through installing culverts with end walls, drainage improvements, and stabilisation works to create a stronger foundation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Council believes completion of this stage of works will deliver a consistent sealed road for all-weather access to support farmers and residents in the area. This will improve the safety and travel time reliability of the road to support our vital industries.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil has been working hard towards upgrading key linkage roads and transport routes throughout the municipality,\u201d Dr Harrison said.<\/p>\n
The work is being carried out by BuildGroup with Ararat Rural City Council managing the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
