Council services, events and regular programs have been impacted by measures to help slow and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
With the completion of the Fosters Bridge construction and new road approaches, design is now complete for works to commence on road reconstruction and safety improvements in a priority order along a 1km length of winding road each side of Fosters bridge.
These safety improvements include selective clearing of hazardous trees, installation of guardrail with motorcycle railing, flattening of high batters, and road pavement reconstruction. The combination of these works will improve driver/rider sight distance and comfort, along with improved signage providing a safer road environment for users.
These works are a jointly funded project between Cessnock City Council and the Australian Governments Bridge Renewal program.
