Roads wrap for April


Orange City Council is getting on with the job of upgrading Orange's roads as the William Street project nears completion and work on the Bypass ramps up.

Work in William Street is in its final stages as the last layer of hot mix asphalt is laid, bringing the total to 220 mm between March Street and Dalton Street.

The parking lanes will be upgraded with bitumen before further heavy hot mix patching is done towards the Byng Street roundabout.


Much of the work was completed at night to lessen the impact on businesses and customers.


Sub soil drainage work is happening on the Northern Distributor Road ahead of a major road rehabilitation expected to start this week. About 310mm of road base will be ripped up, concrete hardeners will be added before a "high-performance 2-coat polymer modified bitumen-gravel surface" is applied.
Meanwhile, about 1 kilometre of drainage pipes are being placed alongside Clergate Road while it undergoes a $2 million upgrade.Heavy patching is occurring on Canobolas Road while shoulder widening is occurring on Pinnacle Road ahead of its new seal south of Shiralee Road.
