As we head into Easter and school holidays, we wanted to provide an update on our work at Jamberoo Mountain Rd, Wallaby Hill Rd and Foxground Rd.
Jamberoo Mountain Road
Our contractors are making good progress repairing Jamberoo Mountain Road.
At the moment they are busy working on Site B and D (see map), which involves manufacturing, drilling and filling 78 piles that are required to stabilise the downhill side of the road in these sections.
They’ve also been able to lay the capping beam for Site D to further secure the 32 piles in that stretch of the road.
Preliminary earthworks have also been done in Site C, which will eventually stabilise the uphill side of the road.
Once the work has progressed enough on these sections, crews will be able to access Site A, to start on that.
Foxground Road
Work is also coming along on Foxground Road, despite the challenging conditions.
The crews there have established the first few levels of the cage and gabion baskets that will stabilise the road.
This site, while smaller than those on Jamberoo Mountain, is made challenging as the work is being done within an active rivulet.
This means even a small amount of rain makes safe work impossible.
Nonetheless, the team there has managed to install two of the four rows of baskets needed so far.
Wallaby Hill Road
Work on Wallaby Hill Road has been slow to progress due to contractual issues, which are expected to be resolved soon to enable work to commence on site by the end of April.
Completion
Naturally, the most important thing you want to know is when will this work be complete.
As long as the weather continues to be favourable, and there are no unforeseen challenges, we should have the work at Jamberoo Mountain Road done in the next three to four months.
We expect the work on Foxground Road to be done in the next couple of months. The repairs to Wallaby Hill Road should commence within the next month.
