Work will start next week on an eight-month, $11.5 million upgrade of the Oxley Highway, 50km west of Gunnedah.
The 6km of upgrades near the Goolhi Road-Oxley Highway intersection include widening and rehabilitating the pavement, widening nine culverts and sealing the section of road.
NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Jenny Aitchison said crews were relocated from this job in 2021 to provide support to the urgent flood repair work required at various locations across the state.
“This pavement improvement work will deliver a stronger and more resilient road surface, safer turning at the Oxley Highway intersection with Goolhi Road and reduced ongoing maintenance costs,” the Minister said.
Changed traffic conditions while the work takes place include single lane closures and reduced speed limits of 40 km/h through the work zone.
Work will be carried out over the next eight months on weekdays between 7am and 6pm and on Saturdays between 8am and 1pm, weather permitting.
Work will start on Monday, September 16.
