Work to upgrade Dunns Road on Wagga Wagga's southern outskirts is set to get underway later this month.
The works are scheduled to start on Monday 21 February and are expected to be completed by end of June, weather permitting.
Work will be carried out between 7am and 6pm weekdays. During the work, the road will be closed to through traffic and detours will be in place. Residents and businesses will maintain access.
The upgrade will be carried out in three phases.
Phase 1: This phase of the project will involve upgrading the existing 2.8-kilometre sealed section and sealing the remaining 2.2 kilometres of unsealed road. Cross road drainage will be improved, wire rope barries and w-beams will be installed and the surface, once sealed, will be line marked.
Phase 2: A separate program in conjunction with Transport NSW is to construct a right-hand turn lane at the Olympic Highway and Dunns Road intersection. Tenders are going out for this work. Council will advise details of this work in due course.
Phase 3: Construction of a roundabout at the Holbrook Road and Dunns Road intersection will be subject to receiving black spot funding. Council will advise details of this work in due course.
