This week, Lithgow Council will be releasing a public tender for the large-scale repair of significant arterial roads across the Lithgow LGA.
The Lithgow local government area is nearly 4,500 square kilometres and comprises a road network of over 970 kilometres.
With over 1,500 millimetres of rain falling in the past 12 months, there have been four natural disaster declarations that are current for our area. This is an incredibly difficult operating environment with extensive damage to infrastructure.
“In recent weeks Council has reconstructed Hassans Walls Road, Brays Lane, Naomi Street, Muttons Falls Road and Lawsons Long Alley, just to name a few,” noted Mayor Statham. “This week, Council will also be tendering for the reconstruction of damaged rural sealed roads across the LGA. We will be focusing on high traffic, high speed arterial roads, with 11 priority assets identified including Magpie Hollow Road, Coxs River Road, Hampton Road, Wolgan Road and Pipers Flat Road.”
