Council is starting the long-awaited upgrade of Manns Road in the Mullumbimby Industrial Estate in mid-June which includes the reconstruction of a 400m section of road.
The upgrade has been made possible thanks to $500,000 funding from the NSW Government.
“Manns Road has been in terrible condition for a long time which is why we’ve sought funding for a full reconstruction of what is the main road of this industrial estate area,” Council’s Director Infrastructure Services, Phil Holloway said.
“This will be a game-changer for residents, workers and customers of the Mullumbimby Industrial Estate – a brand new, smooth road that is made to last for the long-term and has a design life of around 20 years,” he said.
Council crews will be setting up the works from Wednesday 14 June, with removal of the current surface starting from Monday 19 June, weather depending.
“We want to notify the wider Mullumbimby community and everyone who visits the industrial estate and the rugby league grounds about the timing of these major works because there will be some traffic impacts and delays,” Mr Holloway said.
Traffic management will be in place throughout the project and vehicle access will be reduced to one lane at times.
There will be a detour around Towers Drive for the duration of the project and electronic signage will be in place.
Both lanes of traffic on Manns Road may need to be closed at certain times during the works but will be limited to 10-15 minutes in duration.
