Council unveils location-list for roadworks
Orange City Council has unveiled the list of locations for road works in the coming road-building season.
Weather-permitting, road work worth $15.2 million has been planned.
Orange Mayor Cr John Davis OAM said he’s looking forward to the new round of work beginning during warm months.
“It’s been a record wet Winter and that weather has left its mark on our roads,” Cr John Davis said.
“As recently last weekend we’ve had three crews out in all kinds of weather making the roads as safe as we can, but this road-building program is aimed at making a major contribution to the quality of local roads.”
Orange City Council Infrastructure Policy Committee Chair Cr Glenn Taylor said the roads program is a sign of Orange’s growth.
“It’s important to remember that streets like Clergate Road were built as narrow rural roads.
"They’re now a path to a major industrial area and it’s showing the impact of a lot more traffic than it was originally designed for,” Cr Glenn Taylor said.
“Clergate Rd will be re-built.”
